Hongik graduate scholarships (international, TOPIK and Global Scholarship)
Every admitted international graduate student gets 1,000,000 won off the first bill, and TOPIK 4, 5 or 6 adds 30, 40 or 50% of the first semester's tuition. The Global Scholarship track pays full tuition with the entrance fee for the whole course in return for joint research with a Hongik supervisor and a journal paper.
