Chonnam National University Graduate School Significantly Expands Scholarship System... Commitment to Nurturing Next-Generation Scholars

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Chonnam National University is making every effort to nurture the next generation of scholars by significantly expanding and reorganizing its graduate school scholarship system.

According to the Graduate School of Chonnam National University (Dean Professor Baek Jangseon) on the 13th, in order to establish a stable foundation for nurturing the increasingly decreasing next generation of scholars, the scholarship system has been greatly expanded and reorganized so that students can attend graduate school with just one semester's tuition, and efforts have been made to discover prospective graduate students.

Chonnam National University has established the "Challenge Future Scholarship," which supports the first semester tuition for undergraduate students who wish to enter master's programs.

Additionally, new scholarships have been created, including the "Undergraduate Researcher Scholarship for the Combined Bachelor's and Master's Degree Program" to discover prospective graduate students early, and the "President's Honor Scholarship" to attract domestic and international graduate students preparing to enter the integrated master's and doctoral program.

Support programs to strengthen education and research capabilities have also been greatly expanded to help graduate students grow as the next generation of scholars.

Major support programs include assistance for overseas training, research planning capability enhancement support, research paper encouragement programs, support for participation expenses in domestic and international academic conferences, foreign language education, statistics education, and foreign language academic paper proofreading fees, significantly reducing the economic burden.

Meanwhile, the Graduate School of Chonnam National University is recruiting new students for the 2021 academic year spring semester general graduate school until the 21st. The number of recruits is 977 for the master's program (Gwangju 900, Yeosu 77), 432 for the doctoral program (Gwangju 406, Yeosu 26), and 143 for the integrated master's and doctoral program (Gwangju 135, Yeosu 8), totaling 1,552 students.

Applicants can apply online through the website. Interviews and oral exams will be held on the 3rd of next month at designated locations by department and major.

Dean Baek Jangseon said, "In the rapidly changing economy, science, society, and environment, talents with more advanced capabilities are needed," and added, "We will continue to devise more support measures so that undergraduate students who want to research more do not give up their studies due to economic burdens."
