Support continues to nurture leaders with the right sports spirit. Promising students with good character and talent are selected to receive scholarships every year for 6 years in middle and high school. If they are selected as national representatives and win during this period, additional scholarships are provided.
Kyobo Life is dedicated to discovering and nurturing sports talents early and promoting basic sports. This is due to the unique philosophy of talent development passed down from the founder. Shin Yong-ho, the founder of Kyobo Life, initiated the Dream Tree Sports Festival, saying, 'A healthy physique must be developed from a young age for character and knowledge to grow well.' Shin Chang-jae, the CEO and Chairman of the Board of Kyobo Life, is also making differentiated efforts to foster talent while realizing the founding ideals of 'National Education Promotion' and 'Formation of National Capital.'
