*Motivation Letter for GKS Scholarship*

Dear Sir/Madam,

My name is [Mahdiah Hassni], and I am a 23-year-old aspiring medical student from [Afghanistan]. Ever since I was a child, I have dreamed of becoming a surgeon. The human body has always fascinated me, and I am deeply passionate about helping others through medical science. With strong determination and hard work, I have completed my studies with high academic performance, and now I am eager to continue my education in South Korea through the GKS program.

I am highly impressed by the advanced medical technology, education quality, and research environment in South Korea. I believe that studying in Korea will give me the best opportunity to become a skilled surgeon, while also allowing me to learn from some of the most innovative minds in the medical field. Furthermore, I am truly inspired by Korea’s dedication to excellence in healthcare.

Good morning, good evening depending on when you is reading this comment. I hope you are doing well. I want to respectively ask for a question concerning the university track process. In my country, Korean embassy don’t actually consider give this opportunity to ordinary people, it’s always reserved for those that are from a Rich family. Please I want guidelines in how to apply using university track. I recently graduated from the university so I want to start my Masters journey. Thank you and God bless you.

Usually if your country name is not mentioned it is a sign that Korea doesn’t have scholarship in your country. About meeting embassy I searched out that embassies don’t meet people eventhough nowadays they conduct online interviews.
