  FAQ
  
  
  
 
 
 
 

When will I receive my answer?

-  EKF will do its best to inform the students of the results before JULY 2007.
 
How much can I expect for my living expenses?

- The scholarship will depend on the country of destination and on the number of scholarships EKF wishes to distribute for the year 2007. For 2006, the amount given ranged from 500 - 700 Euro/ month.
   
How do you determine the age requirement?

- EKF uses the Western calculation for age determination. If you are not older than 30 years according to Western age, you can apply for the EKF scholarship.
   
I would like to study in Germany in German and do not have and require any English language proficiency certificate. Do I need to take an English language proficiency test to apply for the EKF scholarship?

- No! Please provide us with your German language proficiency certificate instead. (This is the same for other languages.)
   
Is it possible to get the EKF scholarship for undergraduate courses?

- No! Generally this is not possible because the EKF scholarship was set up to help graduate students.
   
I have obtained a Master's degree from a highly renowned university in the UK and of course English was the language of instruction. I've got an IELTS test result which meets your institution¡¯s language requirement but it is older than 2 years. Do I need to take another English exam to apply for your scholarship?

- No! You do not need to take another English test, if you can provide us with the outdated test result and proof that you have experience studying in English before.
   
I am a postgraduate student. Can I apply for the scholarship?

- Yes, the scholarship is open to graduate and post-graduate students.
 
I am an undergraduate student. Can I apply for the scholarship?

- No, the EKF Scholarship Programme does not yet provide support to undergraduate students. In fact, in order to be eligible to receive the scholarship grand, applicants have to have graduated from a Korean university.
 
I am a European national wishing to undertake my graduate studies in Korea. Does EKF provide any scholarships to Europeans wanting to study in Korea?

- Unfortunately, we do not yet provide scholarships to European students wishing to study in Korea but we are working on a programme and hope to be able to provide scholarships to European students wishing to study in Korea in the near future as well.
 
Do I need to be physically present in Korea for the application process?

- No. Firstly, your application has to be submitted by any type of mailing/delivery service. Then, if your application is complete, you will be invited to come in for an interview. If you are not in Seoul and/or Korea, and thus, unable to come to our office for the interview, we will schedule a telephone interview with you in stead.
 
I am in the UK in order to improve my English. Am I eligible to apply for scholarship?

- Yes, as long as you fulfill our Application requirements.
 
There are two application forms on EKFs website. Do I have to submit two application forms?

- There are two support options and students can apply for both of them, if applicable. However, please only submit two applications, if you intend to apply for both support options. This means that you have to be eligible for any of the tuition fee discount options offered.
 
Recommendation Letter: Who should write it and what should it contain?

- The recommendation letter can be provided by anybody who had a chance to observe the students character and personality as well as studying and/or work habits over an extended time period. Usually, applicants submit recommendation letters by their professors, supervisors, or other type of personal mentors.
- The recommendation letter should evaluate the applicants personality/ character and studying/working habits to provide a better picture about the applicants abilities and motivation.
