The chances of a Nigerian getting it are very slim.
They only choose 1 Nigerian, can you imagine, ONLY ONE NIGERIAN for embassy and university track.
Although it might be late, for any Nigerian who wants to apply here are documents you need:

Letter of recommendation, maybe from secondary school principal
Birth certificate; apostilled
Nigerian passport; optional
High school diploma
High school transcript; you will have to go to your secondary that you graduated and ask for it. Gpa must be above or equal 2.6/4.0
English proficiency test or maybe if you get A in English in your waece result .
Certificate of achievements in your secondary school; optional .

Study an engineering course

If you follow embassy track you will have to find a logistics service that can deliver the documents to Korean embassy in Abuja if you don’t live in Abuja.

The stress is much and documents they will charge you for it , chances of getting it is 23%
And it’s quite difficult to live in Korean as a black person and if you can’t speak Korean too.

Warm greetings I am a higher secondary school student. I got 3.2GPA on my high school, I hope that this scholarship would help me for my further studies In South Korea and I would be so grateful, I think that it’s really a good opportunity for Indian students to study abroad
