[Speaking] Talk about State Scholarships.
State Scholarships are an institution that allows college students to immerse themselves in their studies by easing the burden of tuition. The scholarships are paid by the Korea Student Aid Foundation. Households are divided into 10 levels depending on household income as defined by Statistics Korea. The amount paid depends on that level.
Many students have reaped the benefits of the scholarship system. It has also lessened the financial burden for their parents. The Korea Student Aid Foundation also provides student loans and loans for living expenses. This provides opportunities for students from cash-strapped families to study. The system’s benefits give many students a chance to pursue their dreams.
