The Uidang Scholarship Association, founded in 1988 by the late Lee Yoonjae in honor of the wishes of her late husband, Dr. Kim Kihong, known by the pen name Uidang, selects one first-year student from each local high school every year and provides a scholarship of 1.9 million won per year for three years. To date, a total of 45 students have received scholarships amounting to approximately 180 million won.
