All-inclusive allowance (living, accommodation, health insurance, Korean proficiency grants, TOPIK fee, settlement allowance, degree-completion grant): KRW 13,560,000/year in the Korean language year (about KRW 1,130,000/month) and KRW 14,400,000/year in degree years (KRW 1,200,000/month). 1-year Korean language program. Economy round-trip airfare at actual cost (not for applicants already residing in Korea at final announcement).Born after 1 March 2002 (under 25); graduated or graduating by 31 Dec 2026; 80/100, top 20% of class, or CGPA 3.23/5.0 (Uzbek attestat); no test required; TOPIK optional, adds 3% to 5%Applicant and both parents must not hold Korean citizenship, apostilled proof for all three; sealed recommendation letter; taught in Korean after a 1-year language program; full repayment if withdrawing within 3 months; no transfer; June 2027 graduates wait for GKS 202830 Sep 2026Confirmed30 Sep 2026, 18:00 KST (online, Study in Korea portal). Window opened 15 Sep 2026, 11:00 KST.Apply: Online on the Study in Korea website (paper submission to embassies was replaced in the 2026 cycle). Apply to ONE program only (General, Overseas Koreans & Adoptees, or R-GKS) and one track only; applying to more than one track, program or university set voids the application. General / Overseas Koreans: up to 3 universities, at least 1 must be Type B. R-GKS: up to 2 Type B universities. Unusual documents: apostilled or consular-confirmed diploma, transcript, and proof of citizenship for the applicant AND both parents plus proof of family relationship; sealed recommendation letter (dated within 1 year of deadline; 1 required, 2 allowed); NIIED forms for personal statement, study plan and personal medical assessment.
Selection: 1) Korean Embassy (1st round): document screening and oral interview. 2) NIIED selection committee (2nd round): qualification check (citizenship, education, grades) and competency review. 3) Universities (3rd round): admission screening. 4) NIIED final announcement (expected 7 Jan 2027).
Places: 2027: 286 scholars in total. Embassy track 156 across 74 countries (General 88, R-GKS 61, Overseas Koreans & Adoptees 7). Uzbekistan row: General 1, R-GKS 1, Overseas Koreans & Adoptees 1 = 3. Acceptance rate not published.		1. Uzbekistan has 1 General and 1 R-GKS seat (the third seat is only for overseas Koreans/adoptees), so pick the program deliberately: R-GKS candidates compete only for regional Type B universities (max 2 choices); General candidates must include at least one Type B university among 3.
2. Sit TOPIK before the deadline: Level 3/4/5+ adds 3%/4%/5% of total points, and Level 5-6 removes the language year.
3. Science and engineering applicants receive +5% of total points; direct descendants of Korean War veterans +10%.
4. NIIED's competency review scores academic performance, language proficiency, academic activities, contributions to society and international exchange, potential for future development, and completeness/authenticity of documents: write the personal statement and study plan to evidence each item.
5. Listed evaluation preferences: overseas Koreans, low-income or underprivileged applicants, science/engineering majors, winners of technical skills competitions (2026 guideline also lists high English scores).
6. Grade floor for the 5-point attestat is 3.23/5.0 (or top 20% / 80%); anything below is screened out at the qualification check.		Guideline text was read from a mirror copy of the official 2027 PDF (the Study in Korea attachment is a binary download); the official notice (nttId 4522) confirms the file. For UNLOCK's June-2027 graduates the relevant cycle is GKS 2028 (window expected Sept 2027, not announced).

UWC (United World Colleges) IB Diploma via UWC Uzbekistan National CommitteeMultipleBefore graduatingActiveVariesNeed-based scholarship, full or partial, set by a financial needs assessment after selection. '80% of IBDP students selected by a UWC national committee receive full or partial financial support'; UWC Uzbekistan: 'Over 85% of our students have received scholarships'. Itemised coverage (tuition, boarding, travel, pocket money) not published by UWC Uzbekistan. Full-fee reference: USD 50,000 to 165,000 for two years depending on the school (GSP page).Uzbek citizen; 16 or 17 on 1 September 2027 (born September 2009 to August 2011); grade 9, 10 or 11, not at university; strong academic record; no IELTS, TOEFL or SAT; online logical reasoning testOnly one UWC application per year, through UWC Uzbekistan; school and community references; families that can pay contribute according to their means, parent confirms financial terms30 Sep 2026Confirmed30 September 2026, 20:59 CEST (window opened 31 July 2026) for entry in August 2027. UWC Uzbekistan calls its dates 'preliminary'.Apply: apply.uwc.org, programme 'NC Uzbekistan 2026'. Documents: passport/ID/birth-certificate scan, transcript of last completed year, consent to personal data processing form, photo, achievement certificates if any, school and community references (preferably in English), parent/guardian authorization confirming financial terms. One application per cycle; multiple submissions are disqualified.
Selection: 1) Online application (Aug-Sep); 2) online logical reasoning test (October); 3) online video interview (November); 4) final selection day (November); 5) financial needs assessment (December); 6) nomination to a UWC school, which makes the final admission decision (January-June); 7) orientation course (July).
Places: UWC Uzbekistan: under 100 applications in year one, 'over 300' in later years; 'over 30' students have attended UWC since 2019 (about 4-5 a year). No yearly quota published.		1. Scored on six published criteria: intellectual curiosity, active commitment to UWC values, social competence, resilience and self-awareness, personal responsibility and integrity, and academic robustness for the IBDP/IBCP.
2. The logical reasoning test (40 questions, 40 minutes, verbal and non-verbal) is the first cut after the application, so practise that format. It does not test subject knowledge.
3. Answers must be in the student's own voice. UWC says AI-generated content 'may harm outcomes'.
4. School and community references are required, preferably in English.
5. Selection is merit-first. Scholarship size is set only afterwards through the financial needs assessment, so need does not affect selection.
6. The video interview and the final selection day in November come before any nomination.		Other routes: the Global Selection Programme (ages 15-18, full fee-paying, no financial aid; window 2 deadline 30 Sep 2026) is the school-direct route. IAP is only for applicants who 'are not able to apply through a UWC national committee (based on nationality or residency)', so it does not apply to Uzbek citizens. Uzbek citizens living abroad may be covered by their country-of-residence committee, depending on its rules (not verified). Pearson College UWC and UWCSEA scholarships are also allocated through national committees. UWC graduates can apply for Davis UWC Scholars need-based aid at 100+ US partner colleges.https://uz.uwc.org/25 Sep 2026

USD 30M in grants a year; 49% of students receive aid; average annual grant for boarding students USD 60K; more than USD 1M in non-tuition support (books, laptops, study abroad). The 'families making less than $150,000 pay no tuition' policy requires the family to 'live and work in the United States', so it does not apply to Uzbek families.Entry to grade 9, 10, 11 or postgraduate year; grade 9: SSAT or ISEE; grades 10-11: SSAT, ISEE, PSAT, SAT, PreACT or ACT; grade 12/PG: PSAT, SAT, PreACT or ACT; English test recommended, not requiredSeparate financial aid application by the same deadline; interview required for all applicants; aid levels for international students not confirmed; Exeter decides grade placement15 Jan 2027Confirmed15 January 2027 (application and financial aid); decisions released 10 March 2027Apply: Direct application to Exeter plus a financial aid application by the same deadline.

Uzbekistan publishes no separate earlier national deadline: the partner listing says to apply on the DreamApply portal by the Tempus deadline. Sending partners send nomination lists to Tempus by 28 February 2026. Entrance exams March-May; results end May to June; accept by 1 August 2026.Apply: Apply at apply.stipendiumhungaricum.hu (DreamApply). Up to 2 study programmes in order of preference, at the same or different universities, and at most two university entrance exams. Uzbekistan contact: Ministry of Higher Education, Science and Innovation, Ulugbek Khaitov, ulugbek.khaitov@edu.uz, +998712398209. Translations of the certificate and transcript are required.
Selection: 1) Tempus technical check (January-February). 2) Sending-partner nomination: in the 2025/26 round the Hungarian side reviewed applications first, then the Uzbek ministry ranked candidates (places 1-170 main list, 170-340 reserve). 3) University entrance exams or interviews (March-May), 100-point scale, 56 minimum. 4) Allocation and results (end May-June). 5) Acceptance by 1 August.
Places: Uzbekistan: up to 170 places plus a reserve list to 340 (2025/26 round, per the Uzbek ministry announcement on gov.uz). All countries: 80,000 applications and more than 4,500 awards in 2025.		1. Pick a priority field. For 2025/26 the Uzbek ministry prioritised engineering and technical specialties, medicine, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, chemistry, geology, physics, IT, AI and energy.
2. The ministry's stated preferences were strong foreign-language skills and commitment to a professional career in Uzbekistan's education and research sectors. Address both in the motivation letter.
3. Score at least 56/100 in the university entrance exam or interview. For medicine and health, prepare Biology plus Chemistry or Physics (written and oral at Debrecen).
4. Use both programme slots, since you may sit at most two university exams. Pick universities whose entry rules accept your certificate (Debrecen requires 12 years or A-level equivalent).		Field scope conflict: the partner list says bachelor's 'in any field of interest', while the Uzbekistan country page summary says 'excluding Legal Science, Sport Science, Arts, Arts Education'; confirm with the ministry. One-tier master's (medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, architecture, law, veterinary, forestry engineering) is entered straight from school. Age 18 by 31 August blocks some 11-year graduates.https://stipendiumhungaricum.hu/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/BA_MA_OTM_Call_for_Applications_2026_27.pdf25 Sep 2026
