The scholarship recipients were selected from university students in their second year or above who are majoring in AI- or ICT-related fields and have lived in Seocho-gu for at least one year. They will receive full tuition support for the second semester. The Moon Joo Scholarship Foundation, established by Moon Joo-hyun, chairman of MDM Group, is covering the entire cost.

The program was launched last year, and 30 students are selected each semester. To date, 120 students have received approximately KRW 480 million in total.

The district is expanding the foundation for related industries. In 2024, the Yangjae and Umyeon areas were designated as an AI Future Convergence Innovation Special Zone, and this year, the Yangjae and Gaepo areas were designated as an ICT Specific Development Promotion District. The scholarship program is also intended to nurture local talent in connection with these initiatives.

Chairman Moon said, "Scholarships helped me pursue my dreams when I was a student. I am grateful to be able to give back to younger students by passing on the support I received."

Mayor Jeon Seong-su said, "I hope all of the scholarship recipients will build expertise in their respective fields and grow into talented individuals who will lead Seocho's future."
