[※ Notes Regarding Application] 

※ **For current students, applying during the first application period is the rule.** Students who apply during the second period will be rejected during review (Reason: late submission). 

※ Academic information must be entered based on **“2026 Spring Semester”**, and you must accurately select your academic status. 

※ Current students who missed the first application period may apply during the second period **only up to two times** during enrollment by submitting the “Late Application Appeal Form.” Once the appeal is submitted with authentication, the application will be reviewed. (However, support will not be provided if appeal opportunities were already used or if other disqualification reasons exist.) 

※ **All children from multi-child families (3 or more children) must apply for the Multi-Child Scholarship as well when applying for the National Scholarship.** 

※ Incorrect entries such as wrong academic status or misapplication for income-related loans may cause review errors or rejection, so enter information accurately.
