Ewha Womans University Celebrates 10th Anniversary of 'Seonbaeramyeon Scholarship,' Leading Small Donations in Universities
[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunju Lee] Ewha Womans University announced on the 13th that its small-amount regular donation program, 'Seonbae Ramyeon Scholarship,' has reached its 10th anniversary.
The Seonbae Ramyeon Scholarship is a monthly regular donation program centered on alumni, allowing donors to freely choose from one unit (10,000 KRW). Launched in 2010, the program surpassed a pledged amount of 500 million KRW within just one month. Participants in small donations were also given ramyeon as a commemorative gift. Unlike traditional donations, the program received positive evaluations as young alumni in the early stages of their careers could actively participate.
Over the past 10 years, 4,567 alumni, professors, and staff have participated in this scholarship. A total of 2,964,750,000 KRW has been raised. About 200 donors have been supporting the program for 10 years, and notably, 77 Seonbae Ramyeon scholars have now become donors themselves, continuing the virtuous cycle of sharing.
Professor Kim Seokhyang (Department of North Korean Studies), the first donor of Seonbae Ramyeon, said, "When I was young, I thought 'it is right to repay the help you received,' but now I believe 'the true right thing is to share when an opportunity arises without missing it.'" Professor Emeritus Lee Sun-nam (Department of Medicine), who has been a donor for 10 years, stated, "I hope students do not face academic difficulties due to personal circumstances, and I strongly recommend that Ewha’s family participate in the development of their alma mater, nurturing excellent talents, and leading social change through beautiful donations."
