[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Gwan-ju] Dr. Shin Jun-sik, founder of Jaseng Korean Medicine Hospital, has made a 'generous donation' to nurture talent who will lead Korean medicine.


Jaseng Korean Medicine Hospital announced on the 21st that it held the '1st Jaseng Shin Jun-sik Scholarship Award Ceremony' and awarded scholarships and certificates to 12 students from Korean medicine colleges and graduate schools nationwide.


The 'Jaseng Shin Jun-sik Scholarship' project for nurturing next-generation Korean medicine talent is a social contribution initiative started to discover outstanding talents who will lead Korean medicine in the future, foster them as global leaders, and contribute to the development of Korean medicine. Scholarship recipients were selected through a strict review process including personality, potential for growth, financial situation, and extracurricular activities, and then recommended by each of the 12 schools.


The scholarship project was funded directly by Dr. Shin Jun-sik's private assets. The 12 scholarship recipients receive full tuition support for one year, allowing them to focus on their studies. Dr. Shin plans to continue awarding scholarships worth approximately 120 million KRW annually to 12 newly selected Korean medicine students each year through the same method.


This is the second time Dr. Shin Jun-sik has donated private funds for scholarships. In 2019, he donated 100 million KRW under the name 'Shin Jun-sik Scholarship' to university students who are descendants of independence activists, supporting their studies and living expenses. Additionally, the Jaseng Medical Foundation, together with 21 Jaseng Korean Medicine Hospitals and Clinics nationwide, annually runs the 'Jaseng Hope Dream Scholarship' and 'Jaseng Dream Nurturing Scholarship' to assist students in difficult financial situations, helping them continue their studies. To date, a total of 485 students have received these scholarships.



Dr. Shin Jun-sik said, “I hope this scholarship award will serve as a foundation and a beacon of hope for prospective Korean medicine doctors to grow into talents who will lead Korean medicine.” He added, “Furthermore, I will spare no effort to support their proper growth as medical professionals who combine medical skills with 'humanity,' so that they can become talents who will lead the globalization of Korean medicine in various fields.”
