Uridamunhwa Scholarship Foundation to Recruit 1,000 Multicultural Scholars in 2025 View original image

Woori Financial Group's Woori Multicultural Scholarship Foundation announced on the 24th that it will recruit multicultural scholarship students for 2025.


The Woori Multicultural Scholarship Foundation is the first specialized public interest foundation in the domestic financial sector supporting multicultural families, established in 2012 through joint contributions from Woori Bank and other affiliates of Woori Financial Group. Over the past 13 years since its founding, it has provided scholarships totaling approximately 8 billion KRW to 6,700 students and has actively carried out educational, cultural, and welfare projects for multicultural families.


The 2025 multicultural scholarship program targets multicultural students enrolled in elementary, middle, high school, and university courses. The foundation plans to select and support 1,000 students, an increase from 800 last year, making it the largest-scale multicultural scholarship program in the country.


The scholarships are divided into three categories: academic, special talent, and special scholarships. The academic scholarship supports school life and academic improvement, selecting a total of 950 students. The special talent scholarship is for 30 students who possess special skills or talents. The special scholarship, in cooperation with the Ministry of Justice, supports 20 multicultural children in blind spots such as refugees and undocumented migrant children.


Selected scholarship students will receive not only financial support but also opportunities for △ career exploration △ learning consulting △ scholarship student exchange activities. Additionally, in partnership with the global child rights NGO Good Neighbors, monitoring support will be provided to help students grow according to their scholarship usage plans and goals.



Applications are open until the 18th of next month on the Woori Multicultural Scholarship Foundation website. After reviewing scholarship usage plans and documents, the final recipients will be announced in June.
