[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Jong-hwa] Sampyo Group, the No.1 domestic construction basic materials company, is taking the lead in regional coexistence through nurturing outstanding talents.

The 'Jung In-wook Academic Scholarship Foundation,' the scholarship foundation of Sampyo Group, awarded scholarships totaling 30 million KRW to 39 local scholarship students at Yeoncheon County Office in Gyeonggi Province on the 8th. About 10 people attended the ceremony, including Park Seong-nam, Deputy Governor of Yeoncheon County, Choi Jae-beom, Director of the Unification Lifelong Education Center, other Yeoncheon County officials, and representatives from the Jung In-wook Academic Scholarship Foundation.

Park Seong-nam, Deputy Governor of Yeoncheon County, expressed gratitude to Sampyo Group for leading the scholarship project to nurture outstanding talents in the Yeoncheon area, saying, "I hope that Yeoncheon County, a city of peace and ecology, and Sampyo Group will work together on projects to revitalize the local economy and eco-friendly activities, including the creation of ecological forests."

In response, a Sampyo Group official said, "We hope the scholarship project will help students nurture their dreams even a little," adding, "We will actively promote various social contribution programs that can instill hope in students in the Yeoncheon area."

Since 2007, Sampyo Group has been conducting social contribution programs to nurture talents in the Yeoncheon area through the Jung In-wook Academic Scholarship Foundation for 14 years.

In particular, since 2017, the group has been running the environmental art education camp 'Sampyo Green Earth' annually for children and adolescents in the Yeoncheon area. It is a program that allows participants to experience various activities such as making flowerpots, eco-bags, and environmental experiential play, moving away from theory-centered education.

Through the Jung In-wook Academic Scholarship Foundation, established in 1993, Sampyo has been consistently selecting outstanding students among middle, high school, and university students from underprivileged domestic areas and providing scholarships every year. This year, about 250 students nationwide are expected to receive approximately 200 million KRW in scholarships.
