“Without ISEP, I would not have been able to study in Sweden because there were no programs accessible to me, but furthermore, with ISEP’s Community Scholarship I could explore the colorful culture of Northern European countries. In my case, the average cost of living in Sweden is more expensive than Seoul, so I was so lucky to find the ISEP program and obtain the scholarship.”
