The National Outstanding Scholarship is a program that selects excellent university students with capabilities and potential and supports their tuition and living expenses. Scholarship students who meet requirements such as grades and credits are supported with full tuition and living expenses (up to 2.5 million KRW per semester) for up to four years until graduation.

Since 2009, 247,000 students have been supported with 1.29 trillion KRW across five scholarships by major and academic system, including humanities and social sciences, arts and physical education, science and engineering, and professional technical talents, producing outstanding personnel in various sectors. Scholarship students contribute to society in diverse fields.

In particular, various talent development programs by major and academic system are also operated to support scholarship students’ growth as outstanding talents in various fields of society.

This event was a meaningful occasion that helped with career paths such as further education and employment through customized competency development and career support programs tailored to the needs of about 130 scholarship students (110 enrolled mentees and 20 graduate mentees).

After the event, an online mentoring platform will be supported for about four weeks until mid-December, providing online special lectures by field, small group mentoring by sector, and online career exploration of companies.

Bae Byeong-il, Chairman of the Korea Student Aid Foundation, said to the outstanding scholarship students, “We hope that the Korea Student Aid Foundation’s mentoring class program will be of great help to scholarship students’ employment and social advancement, and we will continue to provide various support so that scholarship students grow into excellent talents needed in various fields of society.”
