South Korea offers some of the most generous scholarships in Asia for Bangladeshi students. Funding is driven mainly by your TOPIK level and academic results, and strong applicants on the EAP/English track can also access English-track awards.

How your profile affects your scholarship

Most partner universities award 30% tuition off for TOPIK 3, 50% for TOPIK 4, and up to 70% to 100% for TOPIK 5-6 combined with strong grades. Ask our counselors for a free scholarship assessment based on your profile.
