This Happiness Scholarship was provided to support the training and employment of specialized talents at Meister high schools related to key regional industries and to contribute to the independent growth of children and youth with disabilities. The scholarship recipients were selected through a review committee at each school.


YGPA continues to operate the ‘YGPA Happiness Scholarship Project’ to support talented individuals who will lead the future development of the regional industry so that they can focus on their studies and strengthening their personal independence without economic burdens.


Last year, scholarships for talent development were provided to seven local schools, including Yeosu Yeomyeong School.


President Park Seong-hyun said, “We will continue to steadily expand the Happiness Scholarship Project to be a strong supporter for future local talents.”
