Student Activities

The university offers scholarship/grant opportunities to help deserving students in need of financial assistance. Many such students receive part of assistance through their contributory service to the University. Renewal of University scholarship/grant assistance is based upon an annual review of a student's academic performance at the University and demonstrated financial need.

Graduate study at Pusan National University(PNU) is financed from graduate appointments, special fellowships, traineeships, loans, personal funds, and possible combination of these sources. Each year about 50 percent of PNU's graduate students are supported by graduate appointments and fellowships.

Two primary kinds of graduate appointments are research assistantships and teaching assistantships. The faculty members in each department(usually the graduate committee chair or head of a graduate program) select the individuals who will be awarded graduate appointments from that department. Questions about criteria required to be considered for an appointment should be addressed to the department graduate committee chair.

Nominations for fellowships and traineeship competitions also are made by the departments, and selection is determined by committees drawn from the faculty.
