Gijang County in Busan to Recruit Scholarship Students for the Second Half of the Year

Recruitment of Candidates from 7th to 31st, Final Selection in December

Gijang-gun, Busan, will be accepting applications for the selection of 2024 second half 'Gijang-gun Scholarship' recipients until the 31st.

The county recruits scholarship students twice a year, in the first and second half, in accordance with the 'Gijang-gun Scholarship Fund Establishment and Operation Ordinance' to promote academic stability for local students and foster human resources for regional development.

For university students, scholarships of up to 2 million KRW per person are provided within the range of self-paid tuition fees, depending on categories such as academic excellence, welfare, multi-child families, and special talents. For elementary, middle, and high school students, 500,000 KRW per person is provided in the special talent scholarship category.

Eligibility requires that, as of the recommendation date by the town or township head (November 1), either the student or their parents must have continuously resided in Gijang-gun for at least one year according to the resident registration, and all detailed criteria for each selection category must be met.

Applications can be submitted by visiting the administrative welfare center of the town or township corresponding to the applicant's resident registration address. The county will conduct a review in November and a deliberation by the scholarship committee in December, after which the final recipients will be selected and scholarships awarded.

County Governor Jeong Jongbok said, "I hope the Gijang-gun Scholarship will be a great support to students and families facing financial difficulties."
