The MG Youth Nuri Scholarship Program provides living expense-type scholarships to young people facing financial difficulties while studying or preparing for employment. The two-day event, held from March 20 to 21, brought together 100 university students selected as the 2026 MG Youth Nuri scholarship recipients. The program featured a scholarship certificate award ceremony, activity orientation, team-building activities, and lectures, allowing the students to network and connect with one another. In particular, beyond a simple orientation, the event included design thinking workshops, special employment lectures, and financial education to further strengthen the students’ capabilities.

Each of the selected Youth Nuri scholarship recipients will receive a scholarship of 300,000 won per month until December this year. In addition, they will benefit from various experiential opportunities, such as social contribution projects, capability-building lectures, mentoring, and networking programs. Through these activities, the foundation expects young people to experience the value of sharing and cooperation and achieve meaningful personal growth. Kim In, Chairman of the Saemaul Geumgo Foundation, stated, "The Youth Nuri Scholarship is meaningful not only as financial support but also as an opportunity for young people to learn from one another and grow through collaboration. Starting with this kickoff ceremony, I hope the scholarship recipients will discover broader perspectives and new possibilities through a variety of activities."

Since 2018, the Saemaul Geumgo Foundation has been running this scholarship program for nine consecutive years to support young people’s financial stability and help them become healthy members of society. As of last year, a total of 800 scholarship recipients have received approximately 1.91 billion won in support.
