[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Geon-ju] The family of the late alumnus Jeon Jeung-ho, class of '57 in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Jeonbuk National University, announced on the 29th that they have donated 30 million KRW in scholarships to their alma mater to honor his will.

On this day, the family of the late alumnus Jeon Jeung-ho met with President Kim Dong-won and conveyed the noble intentions of the deceased.

Jeon Jeung-ho, originally from Gimje, entered the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Jeonbuk National University with excellent grades despite difficult circumstances and received scholarships during his university years.

After graduating from university, he worked as the top expert in domestic generator turbine systems and is known to have contributed to the first introduction of the Korean district heating system.

According to the family, he often expressed his wish to use the scholarships he received during his university days to support students from difficult backgrounds.

Accordingly, this fund will be named the "Jeon Jeung-ho Scholarship" and will be awarded to mechanical engineering students who quietly continue their studies despite challenging circumstances.

The family of the late alumnus said, "We are happy to carry on his will, and there would be no greater joy than seeing future students study in better environments and grow into outstanding talents."
