Things to know

For the 2026 academic year (most recent Mongolia graduate notice found; the 2027 Mongolia graduate notice had not been published as of this research on 8 Oct 2026), the Korean Embassy in Mongolia announced a quota of 13 Embassy-Track General Program graduate scholars for Mongolia, out of 800 scholars from 143 countries worldwide.

Quota and dates are confirmed but are for the 2026 cycle, not 2027 - the Mongolia embassy had not posted a 2027 graduate notice at the time of this research (08 Oct 2026), even though the undergraduate 2027 notice was already live. Re-check overseas.mofa.go.kr/mn-ko (board 'Notices') closer to the expected application window (historically Feb) for the confirmed 2027 quota before advising students. Benefit amounts (monthly stipend, tuition cap) were not independently verified for GKS-G in this pass; treat any figure quoted elsewhere as unconfirmed until checked against the official 2027 GKS-G guideline PDF.
