What can I study?

Published by Pusan National University. Which of these a scholarship covers is decided by the school.

What do I need?

• Application form, printed from the JinhakApply site and signed
• Passport copies for you AND both your parents, none expired
• Family relationship or citizenship certificate, showing you and both parents
• Alien registration card, if you hold one. Required if you already live in Korea
• Personal statement and study plan, handwritten or typed
• Certificate of high school graduation, or of expected graduation
• High school transcript for every year

• Consent to the collection and use of your personal information
• 15th TOPIK iBT test admission slip, if you apply in advance with that exam

THE VALIDITY WINDOWS ARE DIFFERENT FOR EACH DOCUMENT. Nationality and family certificates: issued within ONE YEAR of 6 November 2026. Graduation certificate and transcript: within SIX MONTHS. Bank balance: within THIRTY DAYS.

The bank balance may be in your name or a parent's. If you or your sponsor live in Korea it must be a Korean bank account, whatever your visa.

Applicants from a list of 4 countries (guide, p.12) have extra bank rules: a certificate usually from a bank the guide names (in Korea, the NH Bank branch on the PNU campus), the sum deposited by 18 December and a transaction history by 21 December, 18:00, or they lose their place.

Documents must ARRIVE by the deadline, not be posted by it.

Nothing you send is returned.

Graduation certificates and transcripts need an apostille or Korean consular confirmation, even when they are in Korean or English. Papers in any other language also need a certified translation into Korean or English.

Forms 1 to 4 are printed from PNU's own site after you apply online.

Proof of funds can also be a certificate of money sent into Korea, or of currency exchange (guide, p.12).

From the official guide. The school decides what it accepts, not Waegook.
