The ‘HD Hyundai Integrated Council,’ a gathering of HD Hyundai’s external partner companies, has been supporting scholarships for local youth for 23 years.
A total of 30 partner companies from HD Hyundai Heavy Industries, Hyundai Mipo Dockyard, HD Hyundai Electric, and HD Hyundai Construction Equipment donated a total of 30 million KRW in ‘Hope Scholarships’ on the 31st to five middle and high schools in Dong-gu, Ulsan (Hyundai Middle and High School, Hyundai Cheongun Middle and High School, Hyundai Technical High School).
The donation ceremony was attended by Jo Si-young, chairman of the HD Hyundai Integrated Council (CEO of Myungjin TSR), Ko Guk, head of the integrated purchasing division at HD Hyundai Heavy Industries, Choi Soo-kwon, principal of Hyundai Cheongun High School, and Choi Young-chul, principal of Hyundai Middle School.

The scholarships will be awarded to 60 local students who have demonstrated exemplary academic performance despite economically challenging circumstances.
These partner companies, which supply ship equipment and parts to HD Hyundai, have been fostering local talent by providing a total of 500 million KRW in scholarships to 900 students over 23 years since 2001.
Chairman Jo Si-young said, “I hope our small contribution will serve as a foundation for growing students to freely pursue their dreams and become outstanding talents.”
In addition to the scholarship program, the HD Hyundai Integrated Council has been delivering donations to neighbors in urgent need, such as people with disabilities and elderly living alone, since 1991, spreading warmth throughout the local community.
