The enrollment support fund has been provided since 2022 to ease the burden of purchasing school supplies such as backpacks, books, and stationery for new students at all school levels. In the case of Yongin City, enrollment preparation funds were prepared for about 32,000 new students this year, and approximately 23,000 were paid during the first half of the year.


The additional support targets first-grade students newly registered in Yongin City who did not apply in the first half of the year or who transferred to Yongin City from other regions or abroad. Students entering alternative schools or institutions other than regular schools in the second half of this year are also included.


The support amount is 100,000 KRW per student and will be paid in local currency under the name of the parent or guardian. Eligible applicants can apply through the 'Government24' website from the 2nd to the 20th of next month. If the addresses of the child and parent differ, the application must be submitted in person at the administrative welfare center of the child's jurisdictional eup, myeon, or dong.



A city official expressed hope that "the local currency provided as enrollment preparation funds will lead to increased sales for local small business owners and revitalize the local community."
