KT&G Scholarship Foundation Secretary General Ahn Hong-pil stated, “We are committed to offering various scholarship programs so that promising youths from underprivileged backgrounds can pursue their dreams in a stable and nurturing environment. We will continue to invest in nurturing the next generation of talent who will lead the future.”

Established in 2008 as a public interest corporation to fulfill KT&G’s philosophy of being a “righteous company,” the foundation has carried out a wide range of domestic and international scholarship programs to support educationally isolated communities and foster future leaders. Additionally, the foundation selects and supports students in the cultural and artistic fields each year in partnership with the Korea Mecenat Association, contributing to the discovery of talented young artists. As of the end of last year, a total of 12,647 students have benefited from KT&G’s scholarship programs since the foundation’s establishment.
