UNIST Full Scholarship (South Korea)

The UNIST Scholarship is offered by the Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST), a research-focused science and technology university in South Korea. It supports international students across bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral programmes, with a strong emphasis on STEM fields, in an English-friendly research environment.

The award is fully funded, covering a full tuition waiver and, for graduate students, a monthly research stipend, along with on-campus dormitory housing and health insurance, for the duration of the chosen programme. Scholars work in well-equipped labs and benefit from UNIST’s reputation in science and engineering.

Eligibility is for international (non-Korean) students applying to a UNIST bachelor’s, master’s, combined MS-PhD, or PhD programme who meet the department’s admission and English-proficiency requirements, typically with a STEM background. There is no separate scholarship application: you apply for UNIST admission through the admissions portal with transcripts, test scores, references, and a statement or research plan by the deadline, and admitted students are automatically considered, with graduate awards often tied to a supervisor or lab. For international students focused on science and technology, UNIST offers a well-supported, research-intensive route to study in Korea, with English-taught graduate programmes and a campus geared toward research output.
