POSTECH provides tuition scholarships to international undergraduates admitted through its international admissions routes. The award supports in-person undergraduate study in science and engineering at the university in Pohang, South Korea.
The first semester carries a full tuition waiver, and support can continue across eight regular semesters when the recipient meets POSTECH’s academic criteria. From 2027, POSTECH plans both Spring and Fall international undergraduate admissions.
Benefits & funding
- Full tuition waiver for the first semester for admitted international undergraduates.
- Tuition support can continue for up to eight regular semesters when the recipient meets POSTECH’s continuation criteria, including a previous-semester GPA of at least 3.0 on a 4.3 scale.
- A KRW 10,000,000 Pathfinder learning voucher is available to enrolled students after at least three semesters, distributed as KRW 2,500,000 per year over four years.
