One student who received the scholarship said, "I will inherit the spirit of our grandfathers, grandmothers, fathers, and mothers who dedicated themselves to our country and grow into a person who not only excels in studies but also looks around and thinks about the community, taking action to create a better world."

Since 2023, KAI has adopted "Defense KAI" as its motto for social contributions in the defense sector and is conducting projects such as visiting the UN Memorial Park and National Cemetery, fundraising campaigns for Korean War veterans and their families in the Philippines, and a free photography project for Korean War veterans.
