Korea study abroad experience of scholarships

Now talk about scholarships. Overall, the didn't like the United States, Korea scholarship amount and weight are very small. However if you are lucky, you can let the Korea Government paid help you finished reading.

1.BK21 (Brain Korea 21): this is Korea Government to improve the University research environment and engage in a large project. From 1999 to 2005, the Government of Korea to the project call 1.4 trillion won (about 1.4 billion), mainly used to improve the lives of all University postgraduate and research conditions. In other words, is to give them a scholarship. Because many schools share, so each student participating in this project could not have been a lot of money, but is essentially the problem cannot be solved for dinner. Take me to the school, every student is funded by BK21, so each student (Korea students and international students) per month will have about 20 million fare income (more than graduate doctoral students). International students, there will be another 12 million of financing. At first glance, so little money, how to?, however please remember that here in addition to eating all the other basic is free, and basically every student generally also got from Professor to another grant (wait again on this), so here every student every month, get scholarships basically enough to meet life's basic needs. Then turn to other schools, as far as I know, such as the Seoul National University in many (not all) of the laboratory is also a member of BK21, other levels of the University also has some laboratory is funded by BK21, in the laboratory work of students each month will get the money from BK21. Specifically, I am not very clear. Because the money is out of the ordinary Professor does not give students, but they may be able to control how to (not sure). Chinese students in the schools, the best is to ask yourself will go to the laboratory is funded by BK21.

2. Professor to money: If you compare the cattle of the Professor, can get a lot of the funding and project, Namo you also likely have received from him a sum of money. Graduate students usually do you want to help the Professor, if you compare the NICE words of Professor, he will not let you blue, more or less will give you a sum of money. In our school, General masters can get 10 $, doctoral student can get to 20 million. The money plus BK21 money, it can cover one month life's basic needs. This money is completely in the hands of the professors, it may decide to give or not to give much. I heard that in our school, a Professor of better every month to PhD 40 million or more. Therefore, laboratory and Professor of choice for every student to go to Korea reading is very important very important.
