On Friday, June 3, 2016, the Sejong Institute held a closing ceremony for the 2nd Sejong Academy for Young Leaders. The commencement ceremony was attended by President Chang Soo Jin, Vice President Un-Chul Yang, and Vice President Haksoon Paik of the Training and Education Division. After the ceremony, the sixteen students who completed the three-month-long biweekly program met with Chairman Joon-woo Park and had an opportunity to discuss about the program and brief the essays they had written during the program.  

Amongst the sixteen candidates, three top students will be selected for cash prizes, and one student will receive the privilege of conducting a self-organized overseas fieldwork.
