Incheon City Hall

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyesook] Incheon City is extending the application period for the educational disaster relief fund provided to out-of-school youth by two weeks.

The original application deadline was until the 23rd of this month, but it has been extended until the 7th of next month to allow more youth to receive support.

The eligible applicants are out-of-school youth born between March 1, 2002, and December 31, 2013, who have an address in Incheon City as of last month’s 1st.

However, youth born in January and February 2002 who applied for a deferral of admission and entered school in 2009 are also included. They must submit the required documents along with proof of their 2009 admission.

Students on leave (including those attending foreign schools or alternative schools) and those who have left the country are excluded from the educational disaster relief fund.

Application forms can be downloaded from the websites of Incheon City, each district and county office, and the Out-of-School Youth Support Center. For more details, inquiries can be made to the 120 Michuhol Call Center or the Out-of-School Youth Support Centers of each district office.

Considering the many days students could not attend school due to the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19), Incheon City used the eco-friendly meal budget to provide educational disaster relief funds of 100,000 KRW per student to elementary, middle, and high school students in Incheon, and the same will be provided to out-of-school youth.
