POSTECH gives every admitted freshman, Korean and international, a full scholarship covering tuition for the first semester, continuing in later semesters if the student keeps a qualifying GPA and course load; this review therefore records tuition_intl_min and max as zero rather than searching for a nominal sticker price a student would not actually pay. The application fee, confirmed for POSTECH's graduate international admission, is KRW 80,000 (USD 80); a separate undergraduate-specific figure was not found on an official POSTECH page.
