Promise me that you will contact the professors after reading these files.
Dear all if you bombard professor emails with your bad and irrelevant CVs without any email body. You are rejected for sure but also you make a bad impression of Pakistanis that all are same like you. So even some best candidate from Pakistan emails professors. The professors thinks him like you. And one thing for sure, that if you do bad for others, you get bad always. So try to send emails after reading 05 guides and reading professor profiles carefully, making a good email and mentioning in it how you can be useful to his lab and with your research CV. I hope you get a positive reply and hence you apply for admission then. DO NOT ask for Acceptance letters as Acceptance letters are only used in China. In Korea, Professor positive reply is the acceptance
Also there is another scholarship other than that mentioned above, which is RCA (Regional Cooperative Agreement), it is offered for Masters, Masters leading to PhD and PhD at two institutes of UST
KAERI Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute & KIRAMS Korea Institute of Radiological & Medical Sciences
You can get nominated by these two individuals from Pakistan for it. Read details about it in same guidelines as given above and two persons who can recommend you for it from Pakistan are given here. Other countries can also find relevant persons for recommendation here. Please do remember that you can apply for this RCA scholarship only if you get nominated.
