포스코청암재단, 2026 포스코비전장학 증서수여식 개최…대학생 40명에게 최대 7학기 동안 생활장학금 지원

The POSCO Cancer Foundation has selected 40 university students to be awarded the 2026 POSCO Vision Scholarship, certifying them with a certificate during a ceremony on August 26th at the corporate wellness facility stay 1538 in Pyeongchang County, Gangwon-do. Since the program's inception in 2006, the foundation has provided a total of 682 university students with scholarships totaling 84 billion won.

Each selected student will receive up to 2.5 million won in monthly living expenses throughout their academic journey until graduation. The foundation actively promotes the scholarship by collaborating with major universities nationwide, Pyeongchang and Gwangyang city halls, high schools, and scholarship support platforms. This year, the selection process has been expanded to include first-year students from Pyeongchang and Gwangyang universities, with support extending to 29 universities across the nation, such as Seoul National University, POSTECH, KAIST, and Korea University.

In addition to financial support, the foundation also offers diverse capacity-building programs, including overseas volunteer activities and mentorship programs, to help scholarship recipients build their networks and define their career paths. The one-and-a-half-day ceremony will bring together scholarship recipients to share their cultures and experiences, including overseas scholarship students under the foundation's "Korean Scholarship Program," which currently supports students pursuing both undergraduate and graduate degrees abroad.

The foundation's spokesperson emphasized that their support extends beyond financial aid, aiming to help scholarship recipients build their skills and grow into future leaders who can lead the nation in a globalized world. Looking ahead, the foundation plans to continue expanding its tailored programs to help scholarship recipients interact with diverse professionals from within and outside Korea, fostering future leaders in the global community.
