Yongin City to Provide 100,000 KRW Entrance Celebration Money to New Elementary, Middle, and High School Students

For about 30,000 students... Provided as local currency
400,000 KRW for uniforms and other purchases for middle and high school students

Yongin City in Gyeonggi Province announced on the 13th that it will provide 100,000 KRW as an entrance preparation fund to families with new elementary, middle, and high school students this year.

The support targets are about 30,000 new elementary, middle, and high school students registered as residents of Yongin City as of the 4th of this month. The city will provide the support funds in the form of local currency called 'Yongin Y-Pay.'

Eligible families can apply online through 'Government24' by the 25th of next month. If the addresses of the child and parent differ, the application must be submitted in person at the child’s local eup/myeon/dong administrative welfare center.

Along with the entrance congratulatory fund, Yongin City will provide 400,000 KRW per person for purchasing uniforms and other group clothing to about 22,000 new middle and high school students. This purchase fund is also available to new middle and high school students or alternative school students registered as residents of Yongin but attending schools outside the city. Local school new students are applied for collectively by the schools, while students entering schools in other regions or alternative schools must apply individually through 'Gyeonggi Minwon24.'

To reduce the burden of purchasing learning supplies for elementary students, the city will also support 10,000 KRW per student for 66,000 students in 108 elementary schools within the city.

Lee Sang-il, Mayor of Yongin City, expressed his expectation that "the payment of this entrance congratulatory fund in local currency will also contribute to increasing sales for small business owners and revitalizing the local economy."
