The entrance preparation fund program began in 2022 to alleviate the financial burden on parents for purchasing school supplies such as stationery and books.


The city distributes the entrance preparation fund through Yongin local currency, Yongin Y-Pay. Eligible recipients are students who have registered their residence in Yongin City as of the school entrance date (March 4).


Applications can be submitted from March 11 to 29 by the student's parent or a guardian registered on the resident registration together, via the 'Government24 (Subsidy24)' website.


If the addresses of the eligible student and the applicant differ, the student’s resident registration certificate issued after March 4, a certificate of enrollment indicating the grade, and a family relationship certificate must be submitted in person at the nearest Eup, Myeon, or Dong administrative welfare center.



A city official stated, "We will continue to establish various policies to improve and support students' educational conditions."
