500 Basic Livelihood Security and Near-Poverty Recipients Aged 19 and Over

Ulsan City will begin accepting online applications for this year's Ulsan Lifelong Education Voucher program starting at 9 a.m. on September 9.


The voucher support program is a national initiative that has been implemented since 2018 to guarantee adults' rights to lifelong learning and provide diverse educational opportunities by supporting education expenses.


This year's program is being piloted in Ulsan City after it was selected in the Ministry of Education's public contest for the "2024 National-Local Government Lifelong Education Voucher Support Pilot Project" held in May.


The program targets 500 recipients, including basic livelihood security recipients and low-income groups aged 19 or older who reside in Ulsan City.


Applications can be submitted on the Lifelong Education Voucher website from September 9 to 19.


The 500 selected individuals will each receive a voucher worth 350,000 won, which can be used for course fees and textbook costs at institutions registered as National Lifelong Education Voucher providers. The list of participating institutions can be found on the Lifelong Education Voucher website, and the vouchers must be used by December 20 of this year. Any unused points will expire after this period.



An Ulsan City official stated, "Lifelong education contributes to both personal growth and social development, and we will continue to strive to expand educational opportunities for Ulsan citizens in the future."
