Every admitted freshman receives a full first-semester tuition scholarship automatically, with continuation in later semesters tied to academic performance; POSTECH's announcement of international undergraduate admission frames this as identical to what domestic freshmen receive, on top of Korean-language courses and dedicated adjustment support for new international students.
