Yonsei Global Leadership Division Freshman Scholarship

About this scholarship

The Yonsei Global Leadership Division Freshman Scholarship is part of the scholarship system for students in Yonsei University's Global Leaders College. The official GLC scholarship page lists two freshman scholarship routes: an Overseas Koreans Agency Scholarship for incoming students recommended by the agency, with full or half tuition, and an Outstanding Freshman Scholarship for outstanding international students selected based on high school academic performance. The Outstanding Freshman Scholarship has no separate application process, while the agency-recommended scholarship is handled before admission. The award is recorded as varies because support can be full or half tuition and depends on scholarship category, evaluation, and retention rules. Yonsei also lists merit-based, need-based, work-based, and activity scholarships for continuing students, with the total amount of freshman, merit, and need-based scholarships not exceeding the semester tuition fee. Students should confirm whether they enter through Global Leadership Division or Global Basic Education Division, because scholarship operation differs by unit.
