Hello, I'm bushra. I want to ask i done my 10th class in 2022 and skipped my 11 class and I done my 12th class from online schooling in 2025 with 90%.. so I'm still eligible for gks scholarship? If I am then please tell me required documents.
Hi Bushra!
Seeing as you want to know about your eligibility for the prestigious Global Korea Scholarship (GKS) after completing 12th grade through online schooling and having a gap year, let's look directly at the official guidelines set by NIIED.
GKS Eligibility Criteria for Your Profile
-
Academic Performance: Your score of 90% in 12th grade easily satisfies the minimum requirement, which demands a score of 80% or above (or being in the top 20% of your class).
-
The Online Schooling Rule: Under official NIIED regulations, graduates of online high schools or distance learning programs are generally not eligible to apply for the undergraduate GKS track.
The Gap Year Status: Skipping 11th grade or taking a gap year does not automatically disqualify you, provided you can produce a valid, recognized high school graduation certificate and transcript.
Alternative Routes and Next Steps
If your online school certificate is recognized by the Ministry of Education in your home country as equivalent to a regular school board, you may contact the Korean Embassy in your country for a specific exception review.
However, if the online status makes you ineligible for the undergraduate track, a highly recommended path is to complete your Bachelor's degree in your home country and then apply for the fully-funded GKS Graduate Program (Master's/PhD), which allows wider eligibility parameters.
