Scholarship General Provisions

(Scholarship Announce Period) All scholarship recipients shall be selected and officially announced in September, at the beginning of the new academic year.
(Scholarship Amount and Disbursement) The scholarship amount specified in this document applies to one full academic year. The maximum total amount a student may receive within a single academic year is 18,000,000 KRW. This total amount shall be equally divided between the two semesters of the academic year. For example, if a student is awarded a scholarship covering 50% of tuition, 4,500,000 KRW will be deducted per semester, totaling 9,000,000 KRW for the academic year.
(Method of Granting) Scholarship grants shall be applied directly as a deduction on the student’s tuition invoice. The deducted amount per semester shall constitute half the total scholarship value, with the exception of March-enrolled BA1 students, for whom specific rules may apply.
(One-Time Grant Policy) Unless otherwise specified, all GUGC scholarships—excluding the Academic Merit-Based Scholarship, Bursary, and GUGC Volunteer Scholarship—shall be awarded only once per student during their enrollment at GUGC.
(Scholarship Overlap Policy I) In cases where a student qualifies for multiple scholarships, the student shall receive only the scholarship with the highest monetary value. Exceptions to this rule include the GUGC Volunteer Scholarship and the UGent Semester Scholarship, which may be combined with other scholarships under specific conditions.
(Scholarship Overlap Policy II) Dual scholarship awards may be considered only under the following conditions:
- The total scholarship amount shall not exceed 100% of the tuition fee.
- The student must have a record of paid tuition in the preceding semester.
Students who are awarded a scholarship and subsequently take a leave of absence (LoA) shall forfeit their scholarship. Exceptions shall be granted in cases of:
- Documented medical illness
- Mandatory military service
- Natural disasters
- Highly contagious and severe infectious diseases under national control
- Pregnancy and/or childbirth
Given that scholarships are administered on an academic year basis, even when reinstated upon return, the application of the scholarship shall be confined to the academic year of re-enrollment.
(Number of Recipients) All GUGC scholarships are awarded following a comprehensive evaluation by the GUGC Scholarship Committee. For scholarship types requiring application, the number of awardees may be subject to adjustment in the absence of eligible candidates.
