Thank you so much for this informative video. I love Korea and am more confident in pursuing a life there . Just found your channel already subscribed😘 thank you
Thank you very much, this was very helpful. I just wanted to prepare myself ahead , I will be 18 next year. Still have some questions though but I guess it could wait or I would really appreciate it if I could contact you personally. Thank you so much.❤️
Thanks for the video. I am planning to apply this year but I literally don't have any publications or awards and didn't do volunteering recently except when I was serving. So I am just feeling really bad already.
Don't feel too bad. It's not always about the publications. I believe they weigh everything involved in an application along with the essays. The schools you pick and course of study are also important. But if you feel like applying this year may not give you the opportunity to put your best foot forward then you can hold off too. But you never know. Fighting! :)
@@Exceljournals thank you. I have already prepared my documents already, going to the embassy for authentication that's what remains. But between the embassy and university track which is better.
@@cynthiaanukege1963 the embassy track for Nigeria usually takes only 4 candidates. It may seem like the surer track because once you pass the first round interview it's almost definite you'll get the scholarship. However, they rank STEM programs higher and you'll be competing with other top candidates from Nigeria. With Uni track, knowing exactly how to appeal to that one University's dept. is what you need to succeed. However, you're still competing with others from around the world. This is all the information I can give you, it's best you decide which track for yourself. :)
Hiii I'm using this video as my guide. Thank you 😊. I went through the application and not all documents need to be apostilled, they kept on mentioning "if it's original language is not English or Korean it should be translated and then apostilled". But I remember you saying we need to apostille the document (if this grammar is correct 🥲). Please help me to understand 😅
Yes you need to apostille/legalize the document at the appropriate ministry in your country even if the document is originally in English. It’s those whose documents are not in English that are concerned with translation first and then afterwards apostille.
@@Exceljournals after authentication at the ministry of foreign affairs, do I still need to do any confirmation at the Korean embassy before submitting the application?
I think your high school certificate is your testimonial but your waec certificate is the o' level exams you wrote in ss3/ss2 (depending on the class you did it). You can get it at your school. Just ask them for both, the testimonial and Waec certificate.
Hi thanks for the helpful video, please am confused on the documents part.I have already gotten a notary stamp and authentication on my certs from the ministry of foreign affairs and education at Abuja. Is there any other stamp I need to get after this.
Please @wellness Excel which type of application form will I downloading the one of 2022 or 2023 asking from Nigeria, please help a little friend , thanks alot am happy for you
For undergraduate you will need to form from last year's application if you'd like to learn the details of the scholarship. Because the next time the form would come out would be this year around October when the Undergraduate scholarship applications open up again.
Hello dear, thank you for this video. So I got my documents notarized last year when I applied for the undergraduate program but I got the notarized document after the deadline so I could not send it. So, my question is can I still use that or I'd have to notarize another document because of the date
Hi. Please if you don’t mind, can you please share you and your friend’s CGPA with me? I just want to have an idea, and sort of know what my chances are. Thanks a lot.
Which path do you recommend, the embassy track or the university track? If I were to apply via the university, how do I get my application to the university? I have a CGPA of 4.2/5.0, do I have a chance of getting into a type A university or I should focus on type B? my major is Biochemistry. Thank you.
Read the application instructions to know what exactly to as things could’ve changed since my time. When going through university track you send your hard copy documents directly to the university. I can’t say which path is better you should make that decision for yourself really ^^
Lovely tips, new subscriber here! bumped into this midnight today. Am from Nigeria! My Question is "peradventure one fails to get the scholarship and wanna apply again, are you going through this process again from A-Z? like Notarization and so on?
I wanna apply for undergraduate through the embassy track and I live in Lagos, I am just 15 years old and I don't think I can go all the way to Abuja for the interview, what should I do, I am so confused
@@Exceljournals wait.....what?, so i cant get the undergraduate scholarship now because I am 15🥺, but why didn't they mention that?.............thanks for informing me by the way🙁, I cant believe this, I have been planning this for a year now and now I have to wait for 3 years to apply but its still worth the wait
@wellness with Excel Please can I apply online can you send me the portal,cuz am confused am waiting for the announcement but it didn't come forte,am perplexed please help a sister. Am applying for undergraduate degree.
The undergraduate application opens every year around mid September to early October. The notice is usually on the Study in Korea website and the embassy's website. Please search online for it, it's not hidden. You would find it very easily.
Hi, did you have to notarize your documents before taking them to the ministry of foreign affairs? Have you done consular confirmation at the Korean embassy?
Hii, usually the application guideline tells you how to label the documents. For application submission via embassy track, currently in Nigeria you can only submit to the Korean Cultural Center in Abuja (in-person/courier). The Korean embassy offices in both Lagos and Abuja are not responsible for receiving GKS applications in Nigeria.
Yes you have to submit a proof of English or Korean proficiency. For students whose previous education was taught fully in English, a letter from the school confirming that is satisfactory.
Hi! You need either an English or Korean Proficiency. So a letter from your University or an actual English proficiency test result would definitely help!
@@Exceljournals Please am applying through embassy track, So should I notarize one as original copy and leave the 3 set of photocopies required as photocopies?
Please sweetheart, can you ask your friend for me please.. I want to know where I can apostille my documents please... The location in Abuja and the price please.
You completely covered the process. Thank you very much ❤️

Hi, thank you for the information. Did you have to notarize your documents before taking it to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Abuja?
Taking it to the Ministry is the authentication process. You don’t have to notarize before then
@@Exceljournals okay thank you!
@@Exceljournals after authentication at the ministry of foreign affairs, do I still need to do any confirmation at the Korean embassy before submitting the application?
@@thestoic222 yeah. You consular authenticate it at the Korean embassy after authorization at the two ministries
Congratulations to you guys
Great to hear your experience 😊
Thank you so much
Please is high school certificate the same with testimonial or waec certificate in Nigeria.
I think your high school certificate is your testimonial but your waec certificate is the o' level exams you wrote in ss3/ss2 (depending on the class you did it). You can get it at your school. Just ask them for both, the testimonial and Waec certificate.

Hii! Congratulations on deciding to apply, I listed out everything I went through in this video, I hope it helps :)
How did u ship ur Documents pls
I didn’t! I applied via embassy track so I only had to send them to Abuja!
Is it possible for undergraduate poeple like me
Yes the scholarship is for both graduate and undergraduate degrees
After authenticating your documents what next (what will you do with it)
Get it legalized at the concerned embassy and apply for the scholarship, that’s why you authenticate in the first place.
@wellnesswithexcel
How do you apply
Please send me the link please
The scholarship opens yearly please check the videos details for the link to the StudyinKorea website. That's where the notice is usually posted.
Hello dear, thank you for this video. So I got my documents notarized last year when I applied for the undergraduate program but I got the notarized document after the deadline so I could not send it. So, my question is can I still use that or I'd have to notarize another document because of the date
You can still use it!
Hi Favour! I'm applying for the undergraduate program as well. Can we chat on WhatsApp?
Hi. Please if you don’t mind, can you please share you and your friend’s CGPA with me? I just want to have an idea, and sort of know what my chances are. Thanks a lot.
Lol
Hi! That's personal information so sadly I'll decline
Hi, sorry to bother you. What're the documents i need to get appostilled amd how many copies of each you'd advised?
Which path do you recommend, the embassy track or the university track? If I were to apply via the university, how do I get my application to the university?
I have a CGPA of 4.2/5.0, do I have a chance of getting into a type A university or I should focus on type B?
my major is Biochemistry.
Thank you.
For the embassy track, will the photocopies be submitted in the same envelope with the original copy?
@@raphaeladepoju3672 no I think it's 4 different envelopes..
Read the application instructions to know what exactly to as things could’ve changed since my time. When going through university track you send your hard copy documents directly to the university. I can’t say which path is better you should make that decision for yourself really ^^

My Question is "peradventure one fails to get the scholarship and wanna apply again, are you going through this process again from A-Z? like Notarization and so on?
Great to have you here! Yes you have to except you have more copies of the original authenticated documents.
I wanna apply for undergraduate through the embassy track and I live in Lagos, I am just 15 years old and I don't think I can go all the way to Abuja for the interview, what should I do, I am so confused
You need to be at least 18 years old to apply for the undergraduate scholarship. If you're still interested by then that'd work out well :).
@@Exceljournals wait.....what?, so i cant get the undergraduate scholarship now because I am 15🥺, but why didn't they mention that?.............thanks for informing me by the way🙁, I cant believe this, I have been planning this for a year now and now I have to wait for 3 years to apply but its still worth the wait

You'll find their address and contact details once you search for it online :)
Was it compulsory to submit TOEFL or other English proficiency certificates?
Yes you have to submit a proof of English or Korean proficiency. For students whose previous education was taught fully in English, a letter from the school confirming that is satisfactory.
For GKS application for masters do you need English proficiency?
Hi! You need either an English or Korean Proficiency. So a letter from your University or an actual English proficiency test result would definitely help!
For masters do you need waec or neco?
Please Sweetheart, where can I notarized my documents... Am staying at Anambra state
Search for "Notary Publics" around where you stay or visit a court where they also notarize documents.
@@Exceljournals Please am applying through embassy track, So should I notarize one as original copy and leave the 3 set of photocopies required as photocopies?
@@brandyb6891 You could notarize one and make 3 photocopies of the notarized one.
@@Exceljournals Thank you sweetheart
@@Exceljournals Should I notarize a Coloured Photocopy Or White and Black photocopy for Niled pls very urgent please
Please sweetheart, can you ask your friend for me please.. I want to know where I can apostille my documents please... The location in Abuja and the price please.
Documents are authenticated at the Ministry of Education and Foreign Affairs. The Korean embassy's website details what you should do
