How Central African Republic students apply

There are two tracks. On the embassy track, you apply through the Korean embassy in Central African Republic, which screens candidates against Central African Republic's quota above and recommends them to NIIED. On the university track, you apply directly to a single Korean university. Which one fits you, and the trade-offs, are in the embassy vs university track guide.

The eligibility rules (citizenship, age, and GPA), the document set, and the month-by-month timeline are the same for every country. Work through them here: eligibility, documents, and the application timeline.

Frequently asked questions

How many GKS scholarships does Central African Republic get?
Central African Republic has no undergraduate embassy-track allocation in the 2026 guidelines, but the undergraduate UIC university-track program is open to applicants from any country. The graduate university track adds 1 place for Central African Republic (General 0, R-GKS 1). These quotas are set per country in the official guidelines; a few strands, like the undergraduate UIC program and the graduate Research program, are open to all countries instead.
Can students from Central African Republic apply for the Global Korea Scholarship?
Yes, at the graduate level. Students from Central African Republic can apply for GKS-G through the university track, which allocated 1 place to Central African Republic in the 2026 guidelines. Central African Republic has no embassy-track quota, so applications go directly to a participating Korean university.
Do students from Central African Republic need to speak Korean to apply for GKS?
No. GKS includes a funded year of Korean language study before your degree begins, so you can apply with no Korean. You only need to reach TOPIK Level 3 during that year to move on to your degree, and holding TOPIK at application time adds points.
What does the GKS scholarship cover for Central African Republic students?
GKS is fully funded: it covers tuition, a monthly living stipend, round-trip airfare, a funded year of Korean, plus settlement and completion grants and health insurance. The exact amounts are set each year in the official guidelines.
