Applications for Education Benefits and Tuition for Low-Income Families Accepted Until the 20th

[Asia Economy Reporter Jo In-kyung] The Ministry of Education will operate a concentrated application period for 'education benefits and education expenses' targeting low-income households from the 2nd to the 20th of this month.

If you are approved as a recipient of education benefits, elementary school students will receive 206,000 KRW annually, middle school students 295,000 KRW, and high school students 422,200 KRW. High school students can additionally receive full support for entrance fees, tuition, and textbook costs.

If you qualify for education expense support from the Office of Education, you can also receive support for after-school free course vouchers (up to 600,000 KRW per year), computer and internet communication fees (up to 230,000 KRW per year), and more.

Recipients of education benefits are eligible if their income and property investigation results show they are below 50% of the median income standard. Even if not selected as education benefit recipients, if they meet the Office of Education's support criteria (50-80% of the median income standard), they can receive education expense support.

The concentrated application period is from the 2nd to the 20th. Parents or guardians wishing to apply can do so via the Bokjiro website, Education Expense One-Click, or at the Eup, Myeon, or Dong community service centers. Applications are accepted year-round, but since tuition support starts from the month of application, it is recommended to apply during this concentrated application period.
