KAIST's international undergraduate admissions site publishes the scholarship package and confirms automatic consideration through the admission application.
This page summarises the notice linked to the official source. Requirements and dates may vary by nationality, university or application route, so the original source remains authoritative.

How to apply
An independent route or nominating authority has not yet been verified for this opportunity. Use the official source and do not pay an intermediary not named there.
Application-route source ↗Follow the official provider guidance; the process may begin through a country page, university page or separate nomination.
Application journey through the decision
General framework- 01Verify eligibility and route
Confirm from the source whether the route is direct, embassy-based, university-based or nominated.
- 02Prepare the file against the notice
Match every document to the official list; the general preparation list is not an official requirement.
- 03Submit and retain evidence
Keep the application number, submitted copy and correspondence safely.
- 04Track review, admission and visa
Monitor the portal and email and follow post-award guidance; start visa or travel steps only with official instructions.
Do not send documents or fees through an intermediary not named by the official source.
Country, university and living
Loading Earth and opportunities…
Approximate location: The point is an approximate country or territory centroid, not university or accommodation coordinates.
This value is linked to a source and a verification timestamp in the catalog.
This value is linked to a source and a verification timestamp in the catalog.
The scholarship-specific university replaces this country default when confirmed.
National ranges are used until the final university and city are known.
Study in Korea publishes this average range beyond tuition; personal and city costs vary.
Actual commuting depends on home, campus and transit discounts.
Dormitory fees vary by occupancy and meal inclusion; deposits may be separate.
This is a conservative planning range, not a guaranteed hotel quote; verify live rates for the city and dates.
The official portal also quotes university cafeteria meals at KRW 5,000–15,000.
Country-level guidance cannot replace a dated city forecast.
Final visa documents depend on nationality and the Korean mission.
Confirm the exact allowance with the university international office before work.
Any future estimate must carry a source and verification date and is never treated as part of the scholarship funding. Accommodation and food prices are dynamic, while visa and work rules depend on nationality and residence status, so they remain unavailable until a scope-appropriate source is linked.
Expanded decision guide
These questions appear on every scholarship. Unknown remains unknown until a scope-appropriate source exists for the cycle, nationality and visa type; “fully funded” never automatically means every living cost is covered.
01Work during study — four separate rule sets+
Graduate students can reach 30 weekday hours under the published table.
Obtain university confirmation and immigration permission first.
Immigration permission does not cancel scholarship restrictions.
Institutional rules may be stricter than the national ceiling.
02Family, visa and arrival+
Verify each dependant with the mission and Hi Korea before travel.
Budget family housing, insurance and travel independently.
Family support, childcare and schooling have not been linked to the study location.
Follow the host university and Korean mission checklist.
03Funding adequacy and daily living+
A fully funded label does not prove that every personal cost is covered.
Pre-arrival, deposit and pre-first-payment costs have not been calculated.
Dormitories differ by university and are not automatically guaranteed.
Eating out and dietary needs can move the total above the range.
The route between housing and campus is decisive.
The university should confirm bank documents for the stipend account.
04Climate, health, safety and inclusion+
Buy location-specific clothing rather than relying on a country-wide average.
Premium timing depends on status; scholarship insurance wording still needs separate review.
Address changes and stay extensions have formal reporting rules.
Availability varies substantially by city and campus. · Escalate urgent safety matters to the appropriate authorities.
05Travel, post-study options and outcomes+
This is a volatile planning range, not an airline quote.
Graduation alone does not grant full-time work permission.
Use programme-specific outcomes when an institution publishes them. · Mina7 keeps anecdotes separate from official statistics.
