Kunsan National University international graduate scholarships (new student, merit and TOPIK)
New graduate students with TOPIK 4 or higher get full tuition taken off the new-student bill (the 178,000 won entrance fee is still paid); TOPIK 3 gets 500,000 won off; below TOPIK 3, nothing. From semester two, a merit award of 400,000 to 600,000 won (half with a GPA of 3.50 to 3.99). TOPIK 4 earned after entry pays 300,000 won once, or half of the "tuition 2" part if earned within a year.

The school does not publish what a year costs to live, so we cannot say what share is left for you. We will not put a figure there until it does.

Who can apply
- New international master's, PhD and integrated students, transfers included (Fall 2026 guide, the newest). The amounts are planned amounts and may change with the budget
- Paid up to: master's and PhD 4 semesters; integrated master's and PhD 6 to 7 semesters; special graduate schools 4 to 5 semesters
- Merit awards need TOPIK 3 in year 1 and TOPIK 4 from year 2 (the office notice of 24 July 2026 says semesters 1 and 2, then semester 3 on). Below that you take the Korean course IALE names
- How many hours: the office notice of 24 July 2026 says 300 hours a year, at least 150 of them within 6 months of entry. The guide's table, which that notice also attaches, says 300 hours a semester. Ask the office which counts
- The same notice says students who have finished their coursework (수료생) and students in an extra semester cannot apply for the merit award
- Departments that check English at entry and teach 50% or more in English are excepted from the TOPIK condition; the guide names none
- Tuition is billed in two parts. "Tuition 2" is the larger one: for example 2,100,500 of the 2,498,000 won humanities and social band (official 2026 fee table)
