What is the Korea Youth Summit?
The Korea Youth Summit is a youth conference held in Seoul, with talks, sessions, and networking over four days. It brings together young people from many countries and gives each delegate a certificate and a mentoring session.
It is organised by a private company, not a government or university. That shapes how it is funded: a limited number of scholarship places, and paid delegate places for others.
What a funded place covers
- Accommodation during the summit
- Meals (breakfast, lunch, and dinner)
- Airport transfers and local transport
- A seminar kit and a certificate
- A pre-summit orientation and a mentoring session
A funded place does not include your international airfare, so plan for that cost yourself even if you win a scholarship seat.
The application fee
To be considered for the funded (scholarship) category, the summit asks for an application fee. The amount is not stated on the announcement, so check it on the official site. There are also paid delegate options for applicants who are not seeking a scholarship. Pick the category that fits you and apply.
Who can apply
- You are aged 15 to 40. Applicants under 18 are minors and will usually need a parent or guardian’s consent and support.
- You can be from any country.
- Any academic background is accepted.
- You have no criminal record.
Is there an age limit?
Yes. The summit is open to ages 15 to 40. If you are under 18, apply with a parent or guardian involved, since travel and consent rules apply to minors.
Do I need IELTS or TOEFL?
No. The summit does not ask for an IELTS or TOEFL score. Sessions run in English, so you should be comfortable taking part in English.
What to prepare
Applications usually ask who you are, why you want to attend, and what you would contribute. Write a short, clear statement about yourself and your interest, and decide which category, funded or paid delegate, you are applying for.
Required documents
- Your CV or a short profile
- A motivation statement
- Your passport details for visa and travel, if selected
- Anything else the official form asks for
How to apply, step by step
- Open the official Korea Youth Summit site and read the categories and costs.
- Decide whether you are applying for a funded seat or a paid delegate place.
- Check the application fee amount before you pay anything.
- Prepare your profile and motivation statement, and submit before the deadline.
- Plan for your international airfare, which funded places do not cover.
Selection process
The organiser reviews applications and offers places across the funded and paid categories. Funded seats are limited, so they are competitive. Shortlisted applicants receive details of their place and next steps.
Deadline
20 November 2026. The event runs 5 to 8 April 2027.
You have time to prepare, so read the categories and the fee carefully before you apply. Confirm the fee amount and what a funded seat covers on the official site, then apply.
