This recruitment targets young people aged 19 to 39 who are registered residents of Hwaseong as of the application date, with a total of 484 recipients to be selected.

The application period runs from 10:00 a.m. on April 27 to 6:00 p.m. on May 11, with the results scheduled to be announced at the end of May.

The Lifelong Education Voucher program provides an annual learning support fund of 350,000 won per person. Selected recipients can use points to pay for course fees and textbook costs at educational institutions nationwide that are registered as voucher usage partners.

In particular, this local specialized (youth) category has been designed to reflect youth-specific learning needs such as career preparation, job skill enhancement, and self-development.

Applications must be submitted online through the Gyeonggi-do Lifelong Education Voucher website, and applicants must complete identity verification using a simple authentication, joint certificate, or mobile phone verification.

Recipients will be selected by giving priority to basic livelihood security recipients and those in the second-lowest income bracket. Remaining slots will be filled by random lottery regardless of income.

However, those who are current or prospective beneficiaries of the 2026 Gyeonggi-do Lifelong Education Voucher (General, AI, Digital, Disabled) or the Hwaseong Citizen Lifelong Scholarship are not eligible for duplicate support.

Kim Hyang-Gyeom, head of the Lifelong Learning Division, stated, "We are focusing on supporting young people so that they can choose the learning they need at the time they need it," and added, "We hope this project will provide practical help in career exploration and capacity building."
