On the 12th, the Doosan Yeongang Foundation announced that it signed a business agreement with the National Meister High School Principals' Association at the Dream Center of Incheon Electronics Meister High School to support the technical talent high school scholarship. Meister High Schools are special-purpose high schools operating industry-demand customized curricula, with 54 schools currently designated and operating nationwide.

The foundation selects two outstanding students annually from each of 18 high schools nationwide, including Meister High Schools in fields such as semiconductors, nuclear power, energy, robotics, and machinery. Selected scholarship recipients will receive an annual scholarship of 2 million KRW per person until graduation, up to a maximum of 6 million KRW. The National Meister High School Principals' Association supports administrative tasks such as inter-institutional information exchange and promotion of the scholarship program.

Additionally, the foundation plans to produce employment testimonials from scholarship recipients who have secured jobs and provide them to the respective high schools and junior scholarship students. The scholarship is expected to play a positive role in revitalizing the employment ecosystem across various industrial sectors.

Park Yong-hyun, Chairman of the Doosan Yeongang Foundation, said, "We will continue to support the students selected as scholarship recipients so that they can become technical talents leading the future industrial development of South Korea."
