Sangmyung University Alumni Professors Association Awards Scholarships to Junior Students

‘Jeja Sarang Hubae Sarang Scholarship’ Awarded to 63 Recipients

[Asia Economy Reporter Han Jinju] Alumni professors currently working at Sangmyung University Seoul Campus have pooled a portion of their salaries to create scholarships for their students.

The Sangmyung University Seoul Campus Alumni Professors Association held a scholarship award ceremony on the afternoon of the 27th, awarding scholarships totaling 46 million KRW to 63 students. Considering the COVID-19 situation, the scholarship award ceremony has been conducted online since last year.

Forty-six alumni professors contributed a fixed amount from their monthly salaries to establish the scholarship fund. Based on professors' recommendations, students were selected who demonstrated outstanding academic passion, faced financial difficulties, actively participated in school life and served as role models for other students, or were judged to need support in planning their career paths and preparing for the future.

The Professors Association stated, "This activity began with the thought of wanting to pass on the love we received from the school to our students and juniors," adding, "We collect and award scholarships every year with the intention of encouraging and supporting the students' futures."

Since 2011, the Professors Association has awarded a total of 410.5 million KRW to 455 students who are their juniors and mentees.
