Samsung Scholarship
Samsung Scholarship was established in 2002 by Samsung to provide financial support, encouragement and opportunities to gifted Korean students pursuing higher education overseas. Who have shown the capacity to become global leaders of tomorrow and are capable of ushering in Korea's future in the age of information technology.
It is similar to Fulbright Scholarship which gives an international student an opportunity to study in the U.S. universities and institutes via funding the awardee for 2 academic years, yet Samsung Scholarship funds the awardee for the full 5 academic years (for doctoral track) and the awardee may select non-U.S. universities as well.
The Samsung Scholars are largely recognized as highly qualified students studying in many different prestigious universities/research institutes around the world.
