[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] The Namdo Scholarship Foundation (Chairman Lee Yong-seop, Mayor of Gwangju Metropolitan City, and Kim Young-rok, Governor of Jeollanam-do) announced on the 28th that it is recruiting new residents for 2021 at the Seoul 1st and 2nd Namdo Dormitories, the cradle of talent development for Gwangju and Jeonnam.

The total capacity is 728, with 424 at the 1st Dormitory (located in Dongjak-gu) and 304 at the 2nd Dormitory (located in Eunpyeong-gu). Applicants can choose their preferred dormitory to apply.

By city and province, there are 362 spots for Gwangju City, 362 for Jeonnam Province, and 4 for persons with disabilities. The disability rooms in the 2nd Dormitory accept residents regardless of city or province.

Applications are open to university students located in Seoul, Incheon, or Gyeonggi-do whose guardians’ resident registration is in Gwangju City or Jeonnam Province as of the announcement date.

Although the acceptance announcement has not yet been made, those planning to enter universities in the metropolitan area should apply now to use the dormitories starting from the new semester in March next year.

Applicants can download the application form posted in the ‘Notices’ section on the Gwangju Metropolitan City and Jeonnam Province websites and the Namdo Dormitory website, fill it out, and submit it along with the required documents by mail to the Gwangju Metropolitan City Hall or the city/county offices in Jeonnam, where the guardian’s resident registration is located, from January 5 to 21 next year, or apply online through the Namdo Dormitory website.

New students are selected based on 100% living condition according to the Ministry of Health and Welfare’s median income standard, while continuing students are selected based on 30% school grades and 70% living condition. Additional points are given to socially disadvantaged groups and veterans.

The list of admitted students and waiting list rankings can be checked on February 4 next year on the websites of Gwangju City, Jeonnam Province, and Namdo Dormitory.

Since jointly establishing the 1st Dormitory (capacity 850) in 1994, Gwangju City and Jeonnam Province have operated it together with the 2nd Dormitory (capacity 604) since 2018, reducing housing cost burdens for parents and supporting students’ stable university life.
