Câu hỏi thường gặp
How do I apply for the POSCO Global Scholarship in Korea?
You do not apply to the Foundation directly. You win graduate admission to one of the six partner universities, and that university nominates you. The Foundation then requests a personal statement and interviews nominees online.
Is this the same as the POSCO Asia Fellowship?
Yes. The POSCO Asia Fellowship is this scholarship's former name. The Foundation rebranded it as the POSCO Global Scholarship in Korea and opened it beyond Asian nationals and beyond STEM. The old name survives in the Foundation's own plumbing, which is why the confusion persists: the program still lives under an /asia/ web address, the contact address is still asiafellowship@postf.org, and the scholars page is still labelled "Scholarship for Asian Students Studying in Korea" even though the 2026 cohort includes American, Brazilian, and German scholars. Listing sites that still advertise an Asia-only, STEM-only, direct-application "POSCO Asia Fellowship" are describing a program that no longer runs that way.
Can I hold it with GKS?
No. Recipients may not hold other external scholarships at the same time, and it is explicitly marked GKS inapplicable.
Vì sao học bổng này quan trọng
One of Korea's most complete private graduate scholarships. Because selection runs through university nomination, your entire strategy is to win admission to a partner school and be nominated for it. It cannot be combined with GKS or any other external scholarship, so treat it as one strong line in a wider funding plan. Note that most scholarship listing sites still describe this award under its old name, the POSCO Asia Fellowship, as an Asia-only STEM program you apply to directly. That program no longer exists as such: check the Foundation's own pages, not the aggregators.
