Chonnam National University 'COVID-19 Special Scholarship' Support
'Student Love Living Support Fund' to be provided separately
[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Yoon Jamin] Chonnam National University announced on the 20th that it will provide special scholarships to students who are experiencing financial burdens such as tuition fees due to COVID-19.
Chonnam National University decided to support 10% of the tuition fees actually paid for the first semester to undergraduate students who were enrolled in the first semester of the 2020 academic year and registered for the second semester.
Students scheduled to register for the second semester this year will receive scholarships through tuition reduction notices, while those expected to graduate in August and students on leave for the second semester will receive scholarships via bank transfers.
To ensure that many students can benefit evenly, the maximum support amount per person was set at 200,000 KRW.
Earlier, on the 2nd of last month, Chonnam National University promised at a public forum with students to find a way to provide support funds. It is known that a total of approximately 1.84 billion KRW was raised by adjusting project budgets and leftover funds from the headquarters, each college, and affiliated facilities.
Among these, about 140 million KRW collected voluntarily by professors and staff as the ‘Student Love Living Support Fund’ by the 15th will be used to help students facing financial difficulties, and a separate detailed plan is being prepared.
