The existing scholarship system has been subdivided into the "U (友) Scholarship" and the "Deok (德) Scholarship." The U Scholarship is provided as living expenses to help students continue their studies despite difficult family circumstances. Eligible recipients include high school and university students from families of fallen soldiers, police officers, firefighters, and other heroes, as well as from large families, multicultural families, grandparent-headed families, families with disabilities, and basic livelihood security recipients. Selected students can receive the scholarship for one year. Applications for the U Scholarship are open on the Udeok Foundation website until the 20th of this month.

The Deok Scholarship selects students with excellent academic performance to help them grow into talented individuals. It targets university and graduate students, who are selected through recommendations from their schools. After selection, university students receive the scholarship until graduation, and graduate students receive it for one year.

Up to last year, 5,659 students have benefited from the Udeok Foundation's support. Over approximately 40 years since its establishment, the foundation has provided a total of 40 billion KRW to 157 schools, 34 research institutes, and 39 public interest organizations. The Udeok Foundation was established in 1983 by Udeok Heo Chaekyung, the founder of Hanil Cement, with the purpose of returning corporate profits to society and discovering and nurturing true workers who will carry the nation's future.
