Ewha Global Partnership Program (EGPP)

Overview

The Ewha Global Partnership Program (EGPP) is a fully-funded scholarship for female international students from developing countries to study at Ewha Womans University in Seoul, one of the world's largest women's universities. It is built to develop women leaders, so it looks for academic strength alongside leadership potential and a commitment to gender equality.

EGPP supports study at undergraduate, master's, and doctoral levels, and the funding is comprehensive: full tuition including the admission fee, dormitory housing, and a monthly living stipend. That combination makes it one of the few scholarships designed specifically to bring women from developing countries to Korea for a full degree.

You apply through Ewha's special international admissions process, so the scholarship is tied to admission. The mission focus means your application should show not only good grades but also how you plan to use your education to contribute back home, especially in advancing opportunities for women.
