Gyeonggi Province Selects 494 Gyeonggi Residents Association Scholarship Students

[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] The Gyeonggi-do Residents' Association Scholarship Foundation will recruit applicants for scholarship selection for 12 days from the 7th to the 18th of next month.

The number of selected students is a total of 494, including 444 scholarship students from universities, junior colleges, cyber universities, and Korea National Open University, and 50 special talent students (sports, arts). Each will receive a scholarship ranging from 400,000 to 4,000,000 KRW.

Eligibility requires that either the father or mother has continuously resided in Gyeonggi-do for more than 3 years from February 19, 2019, to the application date, and that the student is currently enrolled in a domestic school or is a new (transfer) or returning student.

In the case of multi-child families, siblings can apply simultaneously. Married applicants or those whose parents are deceased can apply based on their own status.

University students must have earned at least 12 credits in the previous semester with a GPA of B or higher (3.0 out of 4.5). New students must have an average percentile score of 80 or higher on the CSAT subject scores or an average high school grade of 80 or higher in either the first or second semester of their senior year.

The scholarship selection evaluation criteria reflect a total of 100%, combining academic performance 20%, income bracket based on financial aid support 70%, volunteer activity 5%, and multi-child family status 5%.

Families with disabilities receive additional points up to 5 depending on the degree of disability.

From this year, to enhance the objectivity of income evaluation, which is a major screening criterion, the income will be assessed based on the income bracket from the Korea Student Aid Foundation’s financial aid support notification instead of the previous method based on parents’ health insurance premium payments.

Due to COVID-19, document submissions will be accepted only by mail directly to the Gyeonggi-do Residents' Association Scholarship Foundation office in Seocho-gu, Seoul, without going through city or county offices. For more detailed information regarding scholarship selection, please refer to the Gyeonggi-do Residents' Association Scholarship Foundation website.
