Gokseong-gun Provides Annual Support of 200,000 Won to Transferred Students

[Gokseong=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Cha Jongseon] Jeonnam Gokseong-gun announced that it will provide 200,000 KRW annually to high school and university students who have moved into the area.

To receive support, applicants must have moved from another city, county, or district for educational purposes and maintain their resident registration in Gokseong.

Additionally, they must be enrolled in a high school or university within the region and reside in a school dormitory or a one-room apartment within the area.

Applications will be accepted from March 1 until the budget is exhausted, with a total of 200 students to be selected.

Applications should be submitted to the Population Policy Team of Gokseong-gun’s Population Policy Division, either by visiting during weekday working hours or by registered mail.

While it is standard for schools to collect and submit applications collectively, individual student applications are also accepted.

Required documents include the application form, consent form for collection, use, and provision of personal information, resident registration abstract (including address change history), and an additional health insurance card application form (if the parent is a regional health insurance subscriber).

All submitted documents must have been issued within one month of the application date to be valid.

Gokseong-gun expects that supporting students who have moved in will increase their willingness to reside in the area, thereby effectively contributing to population inflow.

It is also anticipated to help correct population count discrepancies by reducing cases where students actually live in the area but have not officially moved in.

An official from the county stated, “Until last year, we provided 100,000 KRW annually in two installments of 50,000 KRW each, but due to increased student expenses such as transportation costs, we have doubled the support amount starting this year. We encourage many applications.”
