[Asia Economy Reporter Oh Hyung-gil] Kyobo Life Insurance announced on the 1st that it has awarded the Hope Dasom Scholarship to about 80 university students who have left orphanages or come from low-income families.

Kyobo Life Insurance selects about 20 freshmen university students every year and supports their tuition fees until graduation. Students with excellent grades also receive separate academic excellence scholarships. Additionally, to help students grow into genuine individuals through reading, Kyobo Life provides Kyobo Bookstore book support funds annually. Since 2019, the program has expanded to select 2 to 3 graduate students each year from among Hope Dasom Scholarship recipients and provide scholarships during their master's degree period.

In particular, amid the prolonged economic difficulties caused by COVID-19 last year and this year, special scholarships were established in addition to tuition support to help scholarship recipients focus on their studies. To prevent the spread of COVID-19, the scholarships were delivered individually to the recipients without a separate award ceremony.

The scholarship student group "Hope and Dasom," operating mainly in seven regions nationwide, identifies those in need within their communities and plans and carries out volunteer activities themselves.

So far, a total of 398 scholarship recipients have been produced, of whom about 250 have graduated and grown into members of society.

Kyobo Life Insurance plans to select the 20th new scholarship recipients by the end of this year, and news related to the scholarship program can be found on the Kyobo Education Foundation website.
