The Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) sponsors young baseball players from elementary, middle and high schools and young baseball players from socially disadvantaged families.
KBO said on the 30th, "We will provide 'KBO Youth Baseball Scholarship' so that youth baseball players belonging to socially vulnerable families can continue their exercise without losing their dreams and hopes for baseball."
The KBO Youth Baseball Scholarship, which has been in effect for nine years since 2018, is a social contribution project for the KBO League to return the love it received from its fans to society and practice sharing.
KBO plans to select youth baseball players from socially vulnerable groups and provide scholarships worth about 240 million won per year, including 200,000 won for elementary school students (little), 400,000 won for middle school students, and 500,000 won for high school students every month.
The qualification for application is given to players from the school baseball team and players from elementary, middle and high schools registered with the Korea Baseball Softball Association (KBSA) this year, and players who have been registered and active in the Korean Little Baseball Federation (KLBF) team, and can apply from the fourth grade or higher of elementary school.
Among the students recommended by the principal, KBO will rank in the order of basic living recipients (in the order of livelihood, medical care, and housing benefits), education benefit recipients and second-tier families, single-parent families, and disabled families with severe disabilities, and select scholarships by comprehensively judging other life patterns, baseball grades, academic achievement, personality and companionship.
Scholarship applications can only be submitted by mail to the KBO development team until April 20. The application form and other details are available on the KBO website.
