20
◈ Important Notes regarding Successful Candidates

○ Conditional Successful Candidate

- Applicants who were expected to graduate at the time of application will be listed as “Conditional
Successful Candidates” at the final announcement unless they submit their graduation certificate to
NIIED by December 21, 2022 through an embassy (embassy track) or a university (university track)

- Among conditional successful candidates, those who are exempt from their Korean language
program (who submitted TOPIK level 5 or 6) fail to submit their graduation certificate by February
28, 2023, an admission to the university will be prevented

 The scholarship may be deferred for 6 months if such scholars cannot submit their graduation
certificates due to circumstances beyond one‟s control (e.g., COVID-19, etc.)

- Conditional successful candidates who are assigned to a Korean language program (those without
TOPIK level 5 or 6) may enter Korea, but at their own expense

○ Transitioning from conditional successful candidates to final successful candidates

- Apply for status update

 Conditional successful candidates, eligible for self-funded entry to Korea, should submit an
apostilled or consular confirmed graduation certificate to an embassy (embassy track) or a
university (university track) by February 28, 2023. Candidates whose scholarship is deferred
should submit the above mentioned documents by May 31, 2023
 Each embassy or university should send authenticated graduation certificates to NIIED by the set
date
 Conditional successful candidates who fail to submit their graduation certificate by the deadline
will result in „cancellation of conditional acceptance‟

※ The submission deadline may be extended if a scholar cannot submit their graduation certificate
due to circumstances beyond one‟s control (e.g., COVID-19, etc.) upon President of NIIED‟s
approval

- Approval of status update

 Conditional successful candidates who were approved to become final successful

candidates will receive entry airfare through their Korean language institution after their
arrival to Korea
 Conditional successful candidates whose scholarships were deferred should start their
scholarship program in September 2023. However, if they apply for status update before
February 28, 2023, they may be able to apply* for an admission for March 2023 semester

* Scholar should apply in consideration of the administrative time required for issuance
of certificate of admission and visa, etc.

21
 ○ Final Successful Candidates’ withdrawal

- If a final successful candidate wishes to withdraw from the program after the final announcement, he
or she should submit a signed letter of scholarship renunciation (free form) to the embassy/university
that conducted the first round of selection

- Embassy or university should request NIIED a scholarship renunciation through an official document.
Only then, the scholarship will be officially renounced

- Once a scholarship is renounced, it cannot be reversed. Final Successful Candidates who renounce
their scholarship cannot reapply for the GKS program in the future. If the case of renunciation is
repeated, the relevant countries will lose their GKS quota in the future

○ Certificate of Graduation

- Successful candidates are required to prepare multiple copies of apostilled or consular confirmed
graduation certificate before their entry to Korea. Scholars may need to submit their authenticated
certificate to their degree university (for an issuance of Standard Admission Letter), to an embassy
(for visa issuance), and to Korean immigration office (for a renewal or an update of their status of
residence in Korea)

※ This prevents scholars from returning to their home country to retrieve another set of apostilled or
consular confirmed graduation certificates that are needed for an issuance of Standard Admission
Letter after they are finished with their Korean language program

○ Final Successful Candidates who are currently residing in Korea

- Final successful candidates who have Korean residence visa (D-4, D-2, etc.) may not be able to
receive a new visa for their Korean language program or degree program in Korea*
* To avoid any visa related issues, after the final announcement, final successful candidates who are
residing in Korea should contact the Immigration office immediately to inquire about a new visa. Your
inquiry should entail the necessary procedure and required documents in obtaining a new visa

- Entry airfare will NOT be provided to newly selected scholars who are residing in Korea at the time of
the final announcement

○ Check applicable Laws and Regulations

- Final successful candidates must fully familiarize themselves with immigration and residency laws,
academic regulations of NIIED and each academic institution

Academic regulation of each University Refer to university website
