On the 26th, Ulsan City announced that it will begin the second round of recruitment for the "2024 University Competitiveness Enhancement Special Project" starting October 2, in order to ensure the stable retention of enrolled students, which forms the foundation of local university competitiveness.

This project provides living scholarships to university students who have moved from other regions to universities in Ulsan, helping them settle down in the area.

The support amount is up to 900,000 KRW per person, with an initial payment of 200,000 KRW upon first moving in, and an additional 100,000 KRW per semester for up to eight semesters if the student maintains their address in Ulsan for more than six months.

The living scholarship is available to students enrolled at five universities?University of Ulsan, Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST), Ulsan College, Chunhae Health College, and Korea Polytechnic University Ulsan Campus?who have transferred their address to Ulsan after January 1, 2024.

A total of 1,000 students are selected on a first-come, first-served basis. In the first round of recruitment held on April 1, a total of 729 students received 146 million KRW in living scholarships, supporting the settlement of transferred students in the region.

For the second round of living scholarship applications, students should prepare the application form (available at each university's office) and a copy of their resident registration (including previous addresses), and submit them to the university office where they are currently enrolled starting October 2.

Additionally, students who received the first round of living scholarships and have maintained their address for more than six months will not need to reapply this year; their enrollment and address status will be verified, and the scholarship will be paid in November.
