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.

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.

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.
