The scholarship support is for those who, as of the application date, have their resident registration in the Hanbit Nuclear Power Plant surrounding area for at least one year, either themselves or their guardians, and are outstanding students, arts and physical education specialty students, or from vulnerable groups (single-parent families, registered disabled persons, etc.) attending elementary, middle, high school, or university.

Applications for students attending schools outside the area and vulnerable groups within the area are accepted at the town or township offices until the 1st of next month, while outstanding students and arts and physical education specialty students attending schools within the area must apply through their respective schools.

The scholarship amounts are 200,000 KRW for elementary and middle school students, 300,000 KRW for high school students, and 1,000,000 KRW for university students, and if the applicant has received other scholarships, the payment will be based on the actual tuition paid.

Additionally, those who receive scholarships through false or other fraudulent means will have the scholarship immediately reclaimed and will be disqualified from receiving scholarships for the next three years.

For more details, contact the Safety Management Division of the county office or refer to the announcements and notices on the website.
