6 Million Won Regional Extinction Scholarship Delivered to Gunwi Middle School in Daegu... Daegu Urban Development, Facilities, and Transportation Corporations Collaborate

Daegu Urban Development Corporation (Acting President Jeong Myungseop) announced that on November 18, together with Daegu Transportation Corporation and Daegu Public Facilities Management Corporation, it visited Gunwi Middle School to deliver a scholarship of 6 million won to address the issue of regional extinction.

The three corporations and public institutions of Daegu signed a joint response agreement in December 2024 to overcome the crises of regional extinction and low birth rates. As of 2025, they are discovering and promoting a variety of joint initiatives, including youth support, revitalization of local communities, and educational support.

Daegu Urban Development Corporation, Daegu Facilities Corporation, and Daegu Transportation Corporation visited Gunwi Middle School to deliver a regional extinction scholarship of 6 million won.

This scholarship was established to ease the burden of long-distance commuting for students resulting from population decline and the consolidation of small schools centered on base schools, as well as to create a stable learning environment. It will be awarded to 20 low-income students currently attending Gunwi Middle School and will be used not only for learning support but also to cover school bus expenses arising from the school consolidation.

Jeong Myungseop, Acting President of Daegu Urban Development Corporation, stated, "We hope that the educational environment for students in the Gunwi area will further improve in line with the policy to foster base schools," and added, "We will continue to actively pursue various social contribution activities to address regional extinction in the future."
