The scholarships were funded using a portion of the 220 million KRW sponsorship raised through the 'Independence Preparation Support Project' in February. This money is intended to be used for self-development and education expenses to help youth plan their futures. For those who were not selected as scholarship recipients, a letter from Kyochon F&B Chairman Kwon Won-gang and product exchange vouchers were also delivered to convey encouragement.
After the award ceremony, a self-help meeting was held to help form a social support system for the youth. This self-help meeting included a 'Leather Craft Card Wallet Making' program, designed to support the scholarship recipients who will become key participants in socio-economic activities in the future.
