The Korea Sports Promotion Foundation (Sports Foundation) is recruiting athletes to participate in the '2026 Overseas Study Education Grant Program,' which aims to support career development and provide opportunities for social advancement for athletes.
The 'Overseas Study Education Grant' is a program designed to cultivate professional sports talent by supporting overseas bachelor's, master's, or doctoral degree programs, as well as short-term education and research courses. Any Korean citizen who holds a national team (athlete or coach) career record, has achieved foreign language scores above the required threshold, and has received admission approval from their desired study destination may apply.

The Sports Foundation plans to select a total of two individuals this year—one athlete and one disabled athlete. Those selected as recipients will be eligible for support covering tuition fees, registration fees, and living expenses within the budget range, from short-term programs lasting up to one year to degree programs extending up to four years.
Athletes wishing to apply may submit their applications online through the Athlete Welfare Support Portal by next month on the 10th (Monday).
