Naju-si to Open Applications for 'University Admission Celebration Fund' Starting Next Month on the 3rd

[Naju=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yukbong] Naju City, Jeollanam-do (Mayor Kang In-gyu) announced on the 26th that it will accept applications for the ‘University Admission Congratulatory Fund’ at the administrative welfare centers of the applicant’s home address in eup, myeon, and dong from the 3rd to the 31st of next month.

The University Admission Congratulatory Fund is a pledge of the 7th local government administration aimed at alleviating the economic burden on families with students entering university, fostering local talent, and expanding universal educational welfare.

The congratulatory fund is 500,000 KRW per person and is scheduled to be paid in Naju Sarang Gift Certificates in June. Eligible applicants are freshmen who graduated from high schools within Naju City or passed the high school equivalency exam within the last three years and have entered university.

However, as of January 1 of the admission year, at least one person among the freshman, their parents, spouse, or children listed on the family relation certificate must have been continuously registered as a resident in Naju City for more than one year.

If the freshman has no parents, spouse, or children, or is a resident of a child care facility, the freshman themselves must have been continuously registered as a resident in the city for more than one year.

Applications can be made by the freshman or the freshman’s parents, spouse, or children by visiting the administrative welfare center of their address with the required documents, including the application form for the University Admission Congratulatory Fund, university enrollment certificate, high school graduation certificate, or high school equivalency exam pass certificate.

Mayor Kang In-gyu said, “We hope that this congratulatory fund will help ease the financial burden on parents for their children’s university admission even a little,” and added, “We will continue to do our best to promote educational welfare support projects to strengthen the competitiveness of local high schools, foster local talent, and create a city that is good for education.”
