A note about university scholarships: KIST aims to maintain an affordable fee structure as far as possible in order to keep international education accessible; however, accessibility to tertiary education is often limited for some students due to financial constraints. KIST students are supported and encouraged to attain high scores in the Diploma Programme so that university scholarship support becomes a reality for them. Many KIST graduates have attained various levels of scholarship support from universities around the world (represented below by a black cap icon). For some countries, scholarships are rarely offered prior to entering the university, with such assistance becoming available based on performance attained after enrollment.
