Daegu Shinsegae Awards 130 Middle and High School Students with 130 Million KRW in Local Talent Scholarships

Daegu Shinsegae held the '7th Local Talent Hope Scholarship Award Ceremony' on the 3rd, awarding a total of 130 million KRW in scholarships to local youth.

Since 2017, the 'Daegu Shinsegae Local Talent Hope Scholarship,' now in its 7th year as a specialized sharing activity for local youth, supports 130 middle and high school students selected annually through various institutions such as the Office of Education, Dong-gu Office, and police stations, providing each student with 1 million KRW.

Notably, this year’s scholarship recipients include, for the first time, students recommended through local children's centers in addition to those nominated by institutions, marking an expansion in the scholarship recipients compared to previous years.

The expansion to include local children's centers aims to identify those in need of additional support outside the formal welfare system, despite the various social welfare benefits and programs already in place.

Min Byung-do, CEO of Daegu Shinsegae, who prepared the scholarship award ceremony, stated, “We are grateful to be able to hold the Hope Scholarship Award Ceremony for the 7th consecutive year without change.” He added, “As many customers continue to show strong interest in Daegu Shinsegae, we will strive to carry out activities that further contribute to the local community.”
