Most of the students when think about studying abroad for their graduation, masters or doctorate, Korea is not usually the first country to come in their mind as it is not as famous as United States of America or United Kingdom.

Government Scholarship Programs:
Korean government specifically emphasizes on distributing as many scholarships as possible to help students acquire the best of the education in the lowest of the cost. They know that studying abroad is not very easy and hundreds of thousands of students withdraw from their dream because they know they can’t afford it. My advice to the students who are really ambitioned to experience the education abroad should not give up their dreams just by the thought of hindrances. There are always many stones and path is difficult where destination is amazing. But if you keep struggling you will find that, though tough, every path can be traversed.
The Korean government has distributed over Sixty Five Hundred scholarships to international students from over 148 countries. In addition, it is supporting over 2,000 students every year. Students who wish to apply for scholarship can also find other grant support schemes and programs that are accessible through specific universities, organization and companies. Every scholarship has its own merit criteria and may even conduct tests. Other than this, they have to make sure that the one getting the grant must be the most eligible.

Beautiful Rich Culture:
Just by reading the name of Korea you must have pictured an image in your mind of the Korean lifestyle. Korea is one 
of the countries that value its own resources, traditions and cultures instead of following the westerns and their living according to their values and morals. I really like these kinds of countries. Korea has inherited a heritage of the most beautiful culture, custom and traditions. If you go to Korea to study abroad, you will definitely get to experience these unique occasions often for which people specifically travel there to see for a short amount of time.

Problem is that people has started looking at the world with the eyes of western media. If they present something negative then whole world thinks of it as bad evil thing and likewise if they want to make some evil a hero it is not problem for them. You will not find much good about any Asian country when you see it through their eyes. America and European countries are not the only countries in the world, if you go and search, you will discover such great deals of attractions and beauties, you never had imagined. It is best to always keep in mind that Asian countries like Korea, China, Japan, Singapore and India are also your options as study abroad destinations.
