The scholarship award ceremony was held at the Hongcheon County Office on the morning of July 17, with Im Cheolsun, Head of ESG Division at NH Investment & Securities, and Shin Youngjae, Mayor of Hongcheon County, in attendance. Since 2005, NH Investment & Securities has selected around 40 high school students from low-income families in rural areas each year to provide them with scholarships.

Starting this year, the company will support 10 middle and high school scholarship recipients in each rural local government to expand its support for students. In 2025, scholarships will be awarded to students in a total of five local governments, with the first recipients being 10 students residing in Hongcheon County, Gangwon Province. Beginning next year, the company plans to select scholarship recipients from eight local governments.

As a member of the NH Nonghyup Group, NH Investment & Securities is actively engaged in supporting farming households and fulfilling its social responsibilities, not only through the Hope Tree Scholarship program but also by providing community refrigerators and assisting with farm labor in rural areas. Yoon Byungwoon, CEO of NH Investment & Securities, stated, "The Hope Tree Scholarship is a flagship scholarship program conducted by NH Investment & Securities as a member of the NH Nonghyup Group, designed to give hope and encouragement to students dedicated to their studies," adding, "We will continue to support students in rural areas so they can pursue their dreams."
