First, you have to check whether your country is allotted the adoptee quota in the Application Guideline. If your country is allotted the adoptee quota, you can submit your application only to the Korean Embassy in your country. There is a special portion of scholarship support reserved for Korean adoptees (total 17 grantees in 2015). Also, Korean adoptees can apply for this program even if you have experience of studying in one of the Korean Universities in Korea.
Should I submit the certificates of language proficiency (English or Korean) when I apply for the KGSP?
The certificate of English proficiency (TOEFL or IELTS) or Korean proficiency (TOPIK) is optional for the KGSP. That is to say, you can apply for the KGSP whether you have it or not, but you may be preferred in the selection if you submit it or your 1st selection institution may ask you to submit it to review. In addition, when you apply for admission to your desired universities after passing the 2nd selection round (the NIIED judging committee), you might be requested to submit a certificate of language proficiency to the specific department to which you applied. In that case, the language certificate is a required document for the admission to your degree program.
