Taekwang Group Ilju Foundation Selects 60 University Students for Mentoring Scholarships

For domestic university sophomores in their first semester
Up to 5 semesters of full tuition or living expenses provided

Taekwang Group Ilju Academic and Cultural Foundation (Ilju Foundation) is selecting about 60 '33rd Domestic Undergraduate Scholars' for undergraduate students in Korea.

Taekwang Group Ilju Foundation announced on the 10th that it will select scholarship recipients this year to nurture future talents. Eligibility requires students to be enrolled in the first semester of their second year at a four-year university in Korea. Anyone with a GPA of 3.0 or higher on a 4.5 scale can apply. Approximately 60 students will be selected, and chosen scholars will receive full tuition coverage for up to 5 semesters or a living expense scholarship of 1.7 million KRW per semester. Students from all majors, including arts and physical education, will be selected evenly.

The application period is until March 31, and applications can be submitted online through the Ilju Foundation website. The selection process consists of document screening and interviews. Motivation, character, capabilities, and vision will be comprehensively evaluated.

Scholarship recipients will have opportunities to participate in gatherings for communication between current students and alumni, such as the 'Scholarship Summer Camp,' 'Scholarship Small Groups,' 'Press Corps Activities,' and 'Senior Scholar Mentoring.' They will also participate in mentoring talent donations, such as providing academic guidance or career counseling to youths at group homes and local children's centers. The Ilju Foundation's mentoring program is the foundation's flagship social contribution activity, continuing for 14 years this year.

Kim Minsu, Chairman of the Ilju Foundation, said, "We will spare no support to help students with passion and potential for their studies focus on academics without economic burdens," adding, "We will prepare various programs so that scholars can grow into talents who practice the values of sharing and cooperation, not just knowledge."

The domestic undergraduate scholarship program started in 1991 and has supported a total of 1,199 scholars through last year.
