SPC Group Awards 'SPC Happy Scholarship' to Part-Time University Students

[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Seon-ae] SPC Group announced on the 31st that it had awarded a total of 170 million KRW in scholarships to 100 recipients of the ‘SPC Happy Scholarship’ on the 28th.

The SPC Happy Scholarship is a program that supports 50% of tuition fees for 200 university students (100 per semester) working part-time at SPC Group stores such as Paris Baguette, Baskin Robbins, Dunkin Donuts, and Pascucci, considering factors such as length of service, work attitude, academic plans, and family circumstances.

Following the will of SPC Group Chairman Heo Young-in, who said, “Support young people working in stores so they can nurture their dreams,” the program started in the first half of 2012 and has so far awarded approximately 2.9 billion KRW in scholarships to a total of 1,628 students.

SPC Group usually holds an award ceremony attended by all scholarship recipients each semester, but this time, considering the recent social atmosphere, no separate event was held.

An SPC Group official stated, “We continue the scholarship support program to help part-time university students who balance their studies and work, even if only a little,” and added, “We hope that students working in stores can achieve their dreams through the SPC Happy Scholarship.”

Meanwhile, since the second half of 2011, SPC Group has been selecting 10% of its open recruitment hires from among part-time students.
