Hanyang International Scholarship
Hanyang University awards merit-based tuition reductions of 30% to 100% to international undergraduate and graduate applicants — covering the full tuition for top-tier awardees (approximately KRW 7-9M per semester = LKR 1.6-2M per semester). Hanyang is one of Korea's premier private research universities, particularly renowned for engineering (#1 in Korea for industry partnership), business, and applied sciences. Hanyang has two campuses — the main Seoul campus and the Ansan ERICA campus. Sri Lankan applicants are automatically considered when they apply to Hanyang's undergraduate or graduate programmes; there is no separate scholarship form. The Hanyang International Summer School also offers shorter-term study options with separate awards.
Fall 2027 intake: applications close mid-May 2027; Spring 2027: closed October 2026

info How this award actually works
Who awards it
Hanyang University — not Lanka Scholar. We are not the awarding body and cannot grant, reserve or guarantee this award.
How you are considered
Through your admission application. Awards like this are usually assessed automatically from the application you already submit — there is typically no separate scholarship form to fill in.
What it covers
30% - 100% Tuition Reduction. This is a reduction in tuition, not a full ride. You still fund the remainder, plus living costs and the balance your visa requires you to show.
Where we come in
We make the admission application strong enough to be competitive — course choice, documents, references and deadlines. The funder makes the decision.

International Applicant
Open to international applicants for undergraduate, Master's, or PhD programmes at Hanyang. Both Sri Lankan citizens applying directly and those applying through partner-university exchange tracks are eligible.
Strong Academic Record
Top award tier (100%) typically requires top-decile academic performance — for UG, 3 As at A/L or IB 40+/45; for graduate, first-class Bachelor's. Mid-tier awards (50-70%) for solid second-upper / second-class profiles.
Korean or English Track
Hanyang offers many programmes in English (Engineering, Business, International Studies, IT). Korean-taught programmes require TOPIK Level 3+ for UG and Level 4+ for graduate. English-taught applicants need TOEFL iBT 80+ or IELTS 6.5+.
GPA Maintenance for Renewal
Scholarship is renewable each semester subject to maintaining a B+/3.0+ GPA (Hanyang uses a 4.5 scale, so 3.0 = approximately upper-second). Top-tier (100%) renewal typically requires 3.5+/4.5.

Looking for a scholarship because of the cost?
Then start here instead. Scholarships are competitive, usually partial, and decided by someone else — they are the least reliable way to make studying abroad affordable. Your destination and course choice move the number far more, and both are entirely within your control.
