[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Gyeongnam Provincial Geochang College announced on the 3rd that it will provide a 'COVID-19 Special Scholarship' to all students to reduce the burden of tuition fees caused by the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).

Gyeongnam Provincial Geochang College held several meetings with student representatives such as the Student Council and the Delegates Council last August to discuss the special scholarship.

Additionally, a scholarship committee consisting of faculty, staff, and student representatives decided to provide the special scholarship to encourage academic achievement.

The scholarship amount will be 10% of the tuition fee as a special scholarship. Although there are differences by department, each student will receive a maximum scholarship benefit of 144,500 KRW, which will be provided separately from existing scholarships.

This scholarship was prepared through budget savings by the school and is scheduled to be paid before the 8th, simultaneously with the start of the semester.

Gyeongnam Provincial Geochang College fully refunded living expenses in May as the entire first semester was conducted online.

President Park Yoo-dong stated, "I hope this special scholarship will help reduce the financial burden on students who are striving academically despite the difficult circumstances caused by COVID-19. Since the second semester combines both face-to-face and online classes, we will do our best to ensure that students can study in a safe environment."
