By Dr. Nguyen, PhD candidate, currently studying in Busan, Korea.
Hello Saturday. I wish you a happy weekend! Korea’s annual scholarship program is divided into two phases, called spring semester and fall semester. Spring semester starts in March and September for fall. So how do all the applications and submissions take before this official time?
A. TIME TO RECEIVE DOSES:
Applicants for Master / PhD scholarships should be sent a very early period. Records for the fall season start at the beginning of May and spring in October and November. If you submit at this time, you will avoid the situation “leg on the neck” paper (sometimes quite complicated and complicated in Vietnam). The receipt of applications for GS scholarships is only valid within the deadline, because if GS has accepted, then everything is done. However, the school needs to process the application, so we do not recommend delaying delays. After the receipt of the application as stated above, they will end up accepting in July for fall and December for spring. Filing sooner you will receive admission from school early and avoid making visa late. Time may be slightly different depending on the school, you should check the details on the school’s website to get accurate. You must contact the professor fairly soon, as early as possible before this deadline.
B. KNOWLEDGE:
On paper, you should be prepared early, Especially for those who finish college and study abroad. Because you will be very busy in the final year with a mountain of work, scholarship, contact professor and wonder about the intended. However, making a record of “indispensable” papers is always needed. The documents include the following:
1. Passport Do as always and as soon as possible. Very convenient. Often, the household registration will go to that province, however in 2007 I worked in Saigon (although my residence in the North). Laws are easier and especially for those of you who are far away. You can do it in Hanoi and SG without having to go home. Please apply for a temporary residence permit. But the most convenient is the local.
2. Household registration book, ID card: Need translation and notarization.
3. Transcript + Degree: Some schools in Vietnam now have changed and transcripts + are in bilingual. If you have, then you do not need notarization. Otherwise okay babe, notary not always. The difficulty with you is about to graduate, the scoreboard is not perfect, not yet. Tired not, okay (must be active and find solutions). Apply for a Certificate of Expected Graduation certificate to prove you will graduate at that time. And most of the Korean schools are ok. If the school does not have you can do it yourself, quite a lot of samples on the network. It is free-style but must be quite similar to state papers.
4. LoR (Letter of Recommendation) Letter of recommendation from the teacher (At least doctorate). Usually a person is an advisor or mentor, the other is the head / vice dean. You refer to the samples on the internet, So much and edit in your direction. However, avoid writing VNmese, eg, “I was born in a poor family” … I do not encourage such a way. Pay attention and send experienced people check in advance. The teachers are busy, the enthusiasm for the future sv always burns, but if you put on the teacher’s paper with the form of nham, they are happy to let you stay in the hehe hehe (I am willing to help, Text: D).
5. Study Plan: On the web, you will clearly present what your study plan is in Korea. For example, the first period of concentration, the next, and then the next. Remember not to get married Korean. They type it. Just kidding: p
6. Multiply photos (3×4, and sometimes 4×6): This type of photo is style like passport. That is white background. When you try to wash quite a bit of money, The extra money is a little more. After going through Korea, you have to submit a few more sheets when doing paperwork, etc. so far. P / S: The shooting cost in Korea is quite high.
C. NOTES:
In the papers we have just mentioned, these are “do’s” whether or not they receive a scholarship. When contact Lab and professor, do not need to send these papers. I will detail the scholarship approaches in the next note. However, if GS has received the above documents must be sent to the school side. Your attention is two phases. The professor must be ok, then send all the records. With the papers listed above, after you have finished, you should scan very carefully (do not scan, wrinkle, I think it is not good work style). Scan finished you should save online in your email and whenever, Anywhere are available to send. Actually, the school accepts the scan (it’s a nice scan and prints almost like a real copy, sometimes it’s almost original and the school does not require anything else). What does this mean? That means if you have been accepted, you can send scans via email to anyone in Korea, or to your GS. They will print out and submit to the school in advance so that they can process the information. Then you should send the original through courier. Do not worry about courier time offline. It only takes two or three days. Because after processing the application, they will need you to submit the original. SUMMARY: The pre-release software is quick to process, the original is sent later.
D. WHEN YOU HAVE BEEN ACCEPTED, WHAT SHOULD YOU DO VISA?
Once the GS is ok, and the field accept. You will be sent by the school to Vietnam paper for you. It is paper admission (Admission), One of the most important types of paper. This paper combined with the documents as you send to Korea to embassy Vietnam as Visa. NOTE: Most Difficult and Most Important: Financial Proof – THAT IS REQUESTED FROM THE ROK ROAD IN VIETNAM. For those who receive government scholarships, this is not a requirement. However, the scholarship recipients are quite daunting. The best solution is as follows: You contact your GS, and ask the GS to make the following three papers:
1. Proof of GS professors (Easy, GS to print the school is offline).
2. Bank statements are more than $ 10,000 by GS. (Easy, GS bank print out is done).
3. Handwritten Paper: GS is the name of the GS, the school GS, the date of birth.
Now GS confirms the financial support for this ABC Student, including: living expenses, tuition fees during Korean Master / PhD studies. Then write contacts, contact GS in Korea. They often call through the verification directly. GS prints out, signing is complete. I have a lot of experience with these three types of paper because several times GS. You can rest assured. If the professor in Korea asked why, you present that is the request of Korean DSQ in Vietnam. And remember to explain Van-Ha Nguyen so wild hehe. Okay, and next, you should clarify with GS that you should send both the admission and the 3 types of guarantee to your address. Your address in Vietnam should be near the town / city is best. And recommend GS sent by HDL offline. Because when the code has been sent and the paperwork is satisfied. Many cases in their hometown do not bring papers to you. Soak at the post office for a month. This case is not rare. Careful still, is not it?
Okay, pretty tired, But sacrificed father life to strengthen the child: p: p: p. The final step is to apply for a visa at the embassy. You can submit in Hanoi (embassy) or Saigon (embassy). This is based on household registration. From Da Nang to Hanoi and pay back in Saigon. Often in Hanoi is much larger SG so SHOULD / MUST / HAVE TO submit early. Once you have all the paperwork then submit and wait for VISA to be completed. 100% have a VISA. Just fly and go to Korea to eat kimchi with tears. Note is quite long, information on the internet a lot and full. However, I would like to note the synthesis and direction of the topic “Korean scholarship GS” a bit.
Hopefully useful to all of you. Good luck.
