What is it? Summary of the opportunity
The Global Korea Scholarship (GKS) is a South Korean government initiative aimed at attracting talented students from around the world to strengthen international networks. This programme fully funds academic courses at partner Korean universities.
For Moroccan students, this scholarship represents a major opportunity for cultural and academic immersion. The curriculum usually begins with a compulsory one‑year Korean language training, followed by the chosen degree programme (bachelor’s, master’s or doctorate). Fields of study are varied, ranging from humanities to technical and scientific disciplines.
Financial support covers tuition fees, airfare, and a monthly allowance for living expenses. Applicants can apply through two main routes: the embassy route or the university route, according to the specific guidelines published annually by the NIIED.
