Ganghwa County Recruits 140 New Residents for Ganghwa Scholarship Residence

[Suwon Ilbo=Choi Ki-ho] Ganghwa County selected 140 new residents for the '2023 Ganghwa Scholarship Residence' through a lottery drawing held on the 26th at Jindallaebae Hall in the County Office.

The drawing proceeded via electronic public lottery with the participation of parents and students who wished to observe the transparent selection process.

With the selection of 140 new residents on that day, a total of 187 residents, including 47 re-entering students selected in December of last year, are now able to use the Ganghwa Scholarship Residence.

The Ganghwa Scholarship Residence opened its First Scholarship Residence in Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul with 71 units (one person per unit) in 2014, followed by the opening of the Second Scholarship Residence in Jung-gu, Seoul with 58 units (two people per unit) in 2019, which continues to operate.

The Ganghwa Scholarship Residence provides stable housing support for students at an affordable cost of 130,000 won per month, and admission competition has become increasingly fierce each year. In response, the County plans to complete the construction of the Third and Fourth Scholarship Residences in northern Seoul (100+ units) and Yeonsu-gu, Incheon (60+ units) by September so that students can concentrate on their studies.

Meanwhile, newly admitted residents of the Ganghwa Scholarship Residence must complete move-in registration from the 14th to the 22nd of next month and move in by March 5th. Unsuccessful applicants will be maintained as reserve candidates and can move in in case of mid-term vacancies.
