Meet Theresia Livia Theresia Livia, one of study abroad student from Interior Design BINUS University. She is set to soar to new heights as she prepares to study at Keimyung University in South Korea.
What sets Theresia’s journey apart is her remarkable achievement of being awarded the prestigious Global Korea Scholarship (GKS).
As Theresia eagerly prepares to take on the challenges ahead, she finds herself immersed in gathering the necessary documents for her student visa and organizing her daily needs in a foreign country.
She acknowledges that this will be her first experience living far away from her family, requiring her to rely on her strength and independence to navigate the obstacles that may come her way.
“I’m also preparing myself mentally since this is my first time living alone far from my family, and mostly I will have to face my problems alone since my family is not around me,” said Theresia.
Theresia embraces this opportunity as a chance for personal growth and self-discovery, ready to confront and overcome challenges head-on.
The Global Korea Scholarship (GKS): Theresia’s journey toward the Global Korea Scholarship began when the coordinator from Keimyung University reached out to her, recognizing her as a potential candidate for the prestigious scholarship.
“So the coordinator from Keimyung University sent me an email about GKS (Global Korea Scholarship), and he told me that I am a candidate to receive that scholarship. I had to fill out 1 document about my personal and academic information. In addition, if I am accepted to get that scholarship, I will have to take a course about language or Korean culture while studying at Keimyung University. Then, just a few days ago, I received an email about the GKS result that I have been selected as a GKS student,” said Theresia in our interview session.
The story of Theresia showed the persistent from the team to help the students from the promotion to pre-departure briefing, reflects the unwavering dedication to providing transformative experiences for BINUS students!
Good luck Theresia and the rest of you! We hope that you will not only gain an experience that will help to foster and empower society!
