2. In-depth Analysis of Eligibility: Korean/English Communication Skills Over GPA
The selection criteria are quite different from other classic regional or hometown association scholarships! While a sharp brain and 'GPA' are necessary, the priority is judging whether you are a practical talent.
Communication Skills (Languages) Because there are numerous team projects and mentoring sessions, you must be comfortable communicating in English and Korean. Having a TOPIK (Test of Proficiency in Korean) certificate is the key to passing the interview.
Global Potential and Proactivity In each section of the 'Application Form', you must appeal with initiative, such as "I want to transplant Korea's healthcare system to my home country" or "I want to connect my major to Daewoong's industrial system," rather than passively stating, "I want to receive tuition support."
