[Asia Economy (Daejeon) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] Hannam University announced on the 29th that it will provide a ‘2nd Special Scholarship’ of 100,000 KRW per student to all enrolled students.

The university secured over 1 billion KRW in funds from unspent scholarship budgets, such as overseas volunteer activities and short-term language training programs that could not be conducted this year due to the spread of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19), to provide the special scholarships.

The recipients include 10,293 undergraduate students, including foreigners and those exceeding the standard period of study, as of the end of the second semester. The university will accept applications until January 10 next year and plans to distribute the special scholarships in early February.

Earlier, in July, the university provided a first special scholarship of 200,000 KRW per student to all enrolled students. Including this, the total special scholarship amount given per student this year reaches 300,000 KRW.

Separately from the special scholarship payments, Hannam University has selected students facing financial difficulties and provided multiple COVID-19 relief scholarships.

A Hannam University official stated, “Although the university’s financial situation is not favorable, we decided to provide additional scholarships with the intention of enabling students to focus on their studies and maintain stability in their lives.”
