Hi, thanks for the update. I'm Joseph from Nigeria. Also an aspirant, I was thinking of applying for GKS-G 2023 but no enough info. Expecially on the legalization of documents. This is the first GKS channel by a Nigerian. Thanks a lot for this.

Hey love! Just coming to ur channel for the first time and I’m glad I did. I have some questions please, I want to apply for the scholarship in the next batch this September, I’m in my final year in the university here in Nigeria,and I’m graduating September. What advise would u give? Should I apply for the undergraduate or graduate? I just turned 22. Also what transcript do I submit? The one from secondary school? And can my recommender be someone from my university? Even if I’m submitting my secondary school transcript
Finally a Nigerian that explained on details….Is the dorm free or you have to pay a certain amount of money

Thank you for the video, it was really helpful. I have a query thought! For recommendation letter, what if our supervisor or HOD has retired or left the college, would the LOR still be considered? Or can our college professors write the LOR?
Thank you so much for this video!!! I have one question, the embassy asks you for one set of original documents + three sets of photocopies. But the recommendation letter should be photocopied? I don’t get it😢
Thank you for the detailed video... you talked abt making colored photocopy but in a case where my birth certificate and parent NIN original copy is white and black what do I do??

Hii this is probably a silly question but I am confused. According to the official application guidelines, or the first round you submit 1 copy of everything to your country's Korean embassy, then it says you submit one original copy and 3 photocopys of everything to NIIED. But for GKS-G, it says the result for round 1 is only announced March 22 but also says your round 2 documents will make it to NIIED by April 1st at the latest. Of course, this would not be enough time for some countries' documents to arrive in Korea. I am confused, for the first round do we submit 1 original + 3 photocopies to the embassy, and then if we are selected they will send it to NIIED themselves? By the way you explained the copies here that's what it sounds like to me but I'm not sure.
Please can I prepare these documents few months before the Gks portal is open?
Pls I used black and white photocopies and i already got the high court stamp on it, hope its not gonna affect my selection process
I have a question regarding proof of citizenship, I have the original document for my citizenship and it shows the names of my parents, and my passport also shows the names of my parents. My question is: Is is ok to submit a copy of the citizenship documents, even though it's not in English? Along with a passport copy?
Thank you for the video. But did your submit your real birth certificate
From 🇪🇹 🇪🇹 🇪🇹 can u upload how to fill the form it's alot right
In a situation where your certificate is not out yet can you use just transcript?
What about that of Uganda am confused too Abt the educational document
What if the certificate is not coloured?

Will I need to get an affidavit stating that all the documents belong to me? Will I need to get a letter from my school stating that I was a student and I graduated from their school? Will I have to send my birth certificate and parents proof of citizenship for legalisation? Thank you and more ❤ for your help

As ill graduate university this September, and the undergraduate program starts application September while graduate starts February, which one would u advise I go for?

It’s not compulsory to submit waec, you submit it as an extra certificate. But of course since it’s an academic scholarship they’ll take your academic performance seriously.
