The housing support scholarship is awarded to students living in rental housing or dormitories, taking into account their financial aid status and academic performance.

The Achievement scholarship is awarded to middle and high school students with outstanding academic and volunteer records, and to university students with excellent academic performance. The international student scholarship is given to students with strong academic records and proficiency in Korean.

After review by the Scholarship Selection Committee, recipients will be chosen by the end of November, with scholarship certificates and funds to be awarded in December. The maximum scholarship amounts are 500,000 KRW for middle school students, 700,000 KRW for high school students, 800,000 KRW for international students, and 1.5 million KRW for university students (with 1 million KRW for Youth Hope scholarships).
