Inha University International Student Scholarship

Inha University in Incheon is one of Korea's established private universities, historically strong in engineering, logistics, aerospace, and naval architecture — fitting for a city built around Korea's largest airport and a major port. Its international-student scholarships follow the standard Korean pattern: an entrance scholarship of 30%–100% off tuition based on your record at admission, then GPA-linked reductions each semester thereafter. Inha is a credible target for Sri Lankan STEM applicants, especially in mechanical, aerospace, and logistics engineering; English-taught tracks accept IELTS or an English-medium degree, so Korean is not mandatory to start. Treat it as a tuition-support scheme rather than a full ride: Incheon living costs, the flight, and the enrolment deposit remain your responsibility, and higher reduction bands are competitive. Inha also runs a well-known campus in Tashkent, but this entry concerns the main Incheon campus.

Spring 2027 (March) intake: applications around September–November 2026; Fall 2027 (September) intake: applications around April–June 2027

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 (entrance + merit). 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.

public

International Applicant

Open to non-Korean nationals seeking a full degree at Inha's Incheon campus. Sri Lankan citizens are eligible.

school

Academic Record at Entry

The entrance-scholarship band reflects your prior results — A/Ls for Bachelor's, a good Bachelor's/Master's for graduate study. Strong engineering results from a Sri Lankan university strengthen the case for a higher band.

GPA for Continuation

Semester reductions require maintaining a minimum GPA (commonly ~3.0+/4.5). Grades below the tier threshold lower the award — it is merit-maintained, not fixed.

translate

Language Proficiency

English-taught programmes accept IELTS ~5.5–6.5 or an English-medium degree (a Sri Lankan MOI letter can serve as evidence). Korean-taught programmes require TOPIK, usually level 3–4.

account_tree Application Process

Apply to Inha for admission

Submit the international application on Inha's admissions portal with transcripts, certificates, study plan, financial evidence, and IELTS/TOPIK results for your intake.

Entrance scholarship assessed automatically

Admitted international students are assigned an entrance-scholarship band from the same application; your offer letter states the first-semester tuition reduction.

Keep your GPA above the line

From semester two the reduction is recalculated on GPA. Consistent grades retain the higher bands.

Obtain the D-2 student visa

Use your admission certificate plus proof of the remaining tuition and living funds to apply for the D-2 visa through the Korean mission handling Sri Lanka.

Why Inha University?

Inha was founded with support from the Korean-American community and Korean Air's Hanjin Group, giving it deep ties to aviation and logistics industry. Its Incheon location — next to Incheon International Airport and a global free economic zone — makes it a practical base for engineering and supply-chain careers.

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.
