KAIST Scholarships 2027 for International Students
KAIST is Korea's leading science and technology research university, teaching entirely in English and funding nearly every admitted international undergraduate with a full scholarship covering tuition, a stipend and health insurance. Undergraduate admission runs Early and Regular rounds for a single March intake, while graduate admission runs twice a year. The nominal undergraduate tuition is KRW 3,433,000 a semester, though almost no student pays it in full.
The KAIST Undergraduate Scholarship is awarded automatically to nearly all admitted international undergraduates, covering tuition for up to eight semesters, a monthly stipend and health insurance; continuing it requires keeping a minimum GPA. Most international graduate students separately receive a full-tuition-and-stipend award tied to their department or advisor, and Korean government schemes such as the Global Korea Scholarship also fund students at KAIST.
