KAIST, the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, considers international applicants to its fall 2027 bachelor's intake for the KAIST Undergraduate Scholarship: full tuition for 8 semesters, 350,000 won a month for living costs and health insurance. The regular round runs from 10 November 2026 to 14 January 2027 at 6 p.m. Korea time.
Who can apply
Nationality
Foreign citizenship is required, and neither parent may be a Korean citizen (applicants of Korean origin schooled entirely abroad are the exception). Korean dual citizens cannot apply. KAIST names no excluded country, so Tunisians can apply.

How to be considered
No separate application: select the KAIST scholarship option in the financial resources section of the admission form, by the admission deadline.
Keeping the scholarship
Students must keep a GPA above 2.7 out of 4.3 at KAIST after their freshman year.
Funding and what it does not cover
Full tuition exemption for 8 semesters, a living allowance of 350,000 Korean won a month and medical health insurance.
