Frequently Asked Questions
Q. How do I pay if the course fee exceeds KRW 350,000?
▶ Any amount exceeding the lifelong education voucher support must be borne by the applicant himself/herself.
▶ However, if the government subsidy exceeds KRW 350,000, you can pay with a voucher card only when the excess amount is deposited into the account linked to the voucher card (NH Nonghyup Bank account).
Q. Can I check the voucher balance at an ATM (Automated Teller Machine)?
▶ Lifelong education voucher support (KRW 350,000 per year) is paid in the form of electronic voucher charging, not cash payment. Therefore, it is not possible to check with cash at an ATM (automatic teller machine).
▶ Since the lifelong education voucher is paid by e-voucher, not cash, once the support fund is charged, you can use the lifelong education voucher (lifelong education hope card) to pay the tuition within the charged amount at the institution using the voucher.
Q. Are there regional restrictions on the use of lifelong education vouchers?
▶ There are no regional restrictions on the use of lifelong education vouchers.
If the institution is registered as a lifelong education voucher user, it can be used at institutions located outside of the current residence.
Q. Does applying for a lifelong education voucher affect my eligibility?
▶ Application for a lifelong education voucher has no effect on whether or not you hold the basic livelihood security recipient or the next upper class. Therefore, you will not lose your qualifications as a basic livelihood recipient or the next upper class just because you have been selected as a lifelong education voucher user.
Q. Is it different from the Tomorrow Learning Card?
▶ It is separate from tomorrow’s learning card.
The process of applying for a lifelong education voucher may seem a little complicated than you think.
