The "Kangwon Land Mentoring Scholarship" program is an educational scholarship initiative that, based on mentoring activities, provides a range of academic support and emotional stability programs, including scholarships and career fairs.


Since 2008, Kangwon Land has invested a budget of 25.8 billion won in this scholarship program to support the stable growth of approximately 9,196 students from coal industry transition areas.


In the first part of the event, which brought together around 100 students, participants looked back on the 10-month program by watching a video featuring a sketch of the 2025 activities and students' reflections, followed by the presentation of completion certificates and awards for outstanding participants, as well as case presentations on mentoring activities.


During the second part, a networking session, participants engaged in small-group activities to reflect on their mentoring experiences, share messages of encouragement with one another, and learn about the newly introduced alumni system.



Yonsei University mentor Choi Yunkyung (born in 2003, from Hwasun), who was selected as the top scholarship recipient, said, "Based on this meaningful experience of communicating with my juniors as a mirror that reflects each other's growth, I will continue to work hard so that I can have a positive impact on them."
