The scholarships will be awarded to 150 students for academic excellence, 62 as future talents, 22 for the Hope Narae category, 79 for Home Nest, 123 for the Hanultari category, and 69 for Seedling Growth, among others, covering a total of 12 categories.

Eligible applicants are elementary, middle, high school, and university students who, as of the announcement date, have either themselves or their guardians registered their residence in Boseong County for over a year and are actually living there. For university students, even if their current address is outside the county for study purposes, they may still apply if their parents' registered address is in Boseong County.

Students wishing to apply should submit the required documents to their school or to the administrative welfare center of their residential township. Scholarship recipients will be confirmed after an initial review and a final decision by the foundation’s board of directors, and the scholarships are scheduled to be distributed between May and June.

In particular, this year, reflecting feedback from educational sites, a new 'Saturday Breakfast Support Program for High School Dormitory Students' will be implemented. The county plans to provide breakfast to 127 students at three dormitory-type high schools, ensuring a stable learning environment.

Additionally, through the 'Talent Development' program, 50 million won will be allocated to six schools, and through the 'Dream Development' program, 20 million won will be provided to two schools, thereby strengthening students’ creative, specialty, and aptitude education.

Furthermore, the Boseong County Scholarship Foundation publishes an annual 'Scholarship Newsletter' to facilitate communication between donors and residents. This year, the newsletter will include the foundation’s major achievements in 2025 and business plans for 2026, increasing transparency in scholarship fund management and expanding resident participation.

Moon Chan-oh, Chairman of the Boseong County Scholarship Foundation, stated, "Our scholarships are a strong promise that Boseong County supports the dreams of local talent," and added, "We will continue to innovate the scale and programs of our support so that local students can take pride in Boseong and grow into global talents."
