Kyung Hee University International Student Scholarship

Kyung Hee University is one of South Korea's leading private universities, with campuses in Seoul and Yongin and a broad portfolio spanning the humanities, business, engineering, hospitality and tourism, international studies, and the sciences. It offers international-student scholarships that grade tuition reductions by academic results, available across undergraduate and graduate study, with some entry awards for new students and continuing awards tied to GPA. For Sri Lankan students, Kyung Hee combines a respected Korean degree, a strong international-studies and hospitality reputation, and access to Seoul's job market, with both Korean-taught and a growing number of English-taught tracks. Scholarship percentages, eligible programmes, and language requirements vary by college and intake, so confirm the current award, eligibility, language of instruction, and deadlines with Kyung Hee's international office before applying.

What it covers

Graded tuition reduction for international students based on academic results. 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.

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.
