Geumcheon-gu Provides Admission Preparation Funds to New Elementary, Middle, and High School Students from Other Cities and Provinces

For Geumcheon-gu residents entering schools in other cities or provinces who did not receive entrance preparation funds

20,000 KRW for elementary school, 30,000 KRW for middle and high school, can be used to purchase educational books and more

Geumcheon-gu (Mayor Yu Seong-hoon) provides entrance preparation funds to new students residing in Geumcheon-gu who enrolled in elementary, middle, or high schools located outside Seoul city and did not receive such funds.

'Entrance preparation funds' refer to financial support that can be used to purchase necessary items for new students, such as school uniforms and educational books. Elementary students receive 200,000 KRW, and middle and high school students receive 300,000 KRW worth of Zero Pay gift certificates.

At the beginning of the year, entrance preparation funds were provided to new students at all schools located in Seoul. However, students who enrolled in schools outside Seoul city where entrance preparation funds are not provided did not receive these benefits.

To realize universal educational welfare without blind spots, Geumcheon-gu has been implementing the 'Geumcheon-gu Entrance Preparation Fund Support Project' since 2021 to ensure that all Geumcheon-gu students receive entrance preparation funds without exception.

The eligible applicants are new students for the 2023 academic year who have their resident registration in Geumcheon-gu or, in the case of foreigners, have designated Geumcheon-gu as their place of stay. However, students who have already received support funds of the same nature as entrance preparation funds are excluded from eligibility.

The application period is from July 1 to August 31. Applicants can download the application form from the 'Geumcheon News' section on the Geumcheon-gu Office website, fill it out, and submit it via email or visit the Education Support Division at the district office to submit it in person. The support funds will be paid in October after verifying eligibility requirements such as resident registration and duplicate support status.

Yu Seong-hoon, Mayor of Geumcheon-gu, stated, "We hope that the entrance preparation fund support will reduce the educational expenses burden on parents and contribute to the realization of universal educational welfare."
