[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Seryeong] The Gyeongsangnam-do Scholarship Foundation is recruiting university entrance scholarship students for 2022.

The provincial scholarship foundation provides scholarships to offer children in the province the opportunity to focus on their studies and realize their dreams and goals, aiming to nurture outstanding local talents.

This year, a total of 500 million KRW will be distributed to 250 students, with 2 million KRW per person. Applications can be submitted by visiting the nearest eup, myeon, or dong administrative welfare center or by mail from the 7th to the 25th.

The scholarship fund is sourced from 200 million KRW generated by interest from a 10 billion KRW endowment donated by BNK Gyeongnam Bank and 300 million KRW in scholarships entrusted annually by NH Nonghyup Bank.

Eligible recipients are children from legally low-income households such as basic livelihood security recipients, near-poverty class, and single-parent families; those who were beneficiaries of the 2021 Gyeongsangnam-do education support project; or graduates of high schools in the province from households with median income at or below 70%.

For the 2022 academic year, students must have an average grade within the top 4 ranks in either two subjects among Korean, English, and Mathematics in the College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT), or an average grade within the top 4 ranks in three subjects among Korean, English, Mathematics, and Social/Science in the first semester of the third year of high school.

Students must have graduated from a high school in the province, and their guardians must have resided in the province for at least one year as of the announcement date to be eligible to apply.

Detailed information regarding scholarship selection and application can be found in the announcement posted on the provincial, city, and county websites. Inquiries can also be made at the provincial Integrated Education Promotion Team, the Gyeongsangnam-do education support project departments of each city and county, or eup, myeon, and dong administrative welfare centers.

The Gyeongnam Scholarship Foundation also plans to launch scholarships for current university students in the province around April, providing 1 million KRW each to 150 students.

Chairman Ha Byeongpil stated, “We will support our children so that they do not give up studying or become discouraged in achieving their dreams due to economic difficulties such as COVID-19,” and added, “We will do our best to help outstanding children in the province grow into excellent talents for the local community.”
