Changwon Special City, College Freshmen "Apply for Changwon Freshman Support Fund"

Up to 1 Million KRW Provided, Apply for 2 Months from March to April
Available on Changwon Youth Information Platform

Changwon City in Gyeongnam Province will accept applications for the Changwon Freshman Support Fund, which provides up to 1 million KRW to first-year university students in the city, from March to April for two months.

The applicants must be freshmen who graduated from high schools in Changwon and enrolled in universities within Changwon. As of March 1, they must be students aged 34 or younger who have continuously held resident registration in Changwon for more than one year.

Applications are to be submitted online (Changwon Youth Information Platform → Youth Support → Online Application), and applicants must attach documents such as a resident registration transcript, high school graduation certificate, and a copy of their bankbook.

Detailed information and instructions on how to obtain the required documents can be found in the “2024 Changwon Freshman Support Fund Application Announcement” on the Changwon City website.

With the cooperation of local universities, Changwon City plans to verify students’ enrollment status in May and November, and disburse 500,000 KRW for the first half of the year in June and 500,000 KRW for the second half in December.

Lee Dong-ho, Director of the Lifelong Education Division, said, “We expect the Changwon Freshman Support Fund to reduce the financial burden on local university freshmen. We will strive to build an organic relationship between Changwon City and local universities to nurture regional talent.”

Meanwhile, Changwon City provides a living stabilization support fund to university students who have lived in other cities or counties for more than one year and transferred their residence to Changwon after January 1 of their enrollment year. It is not possible to apply for both the living stabilization support fund and the Freshman Support Fund simultaneously.
