SKKU Global Leader Scholarship
Half your tuition for four years. There are three ways in and only the first depends on where you are from: your country is on SKKU's list of 112, or you are outstanding in a STEM field or a strong entrant to one of three Global departments, or you show strong potential outside the classroom.
