Chunhyang Scholarship Foundation Holds 76th Board Meeting... Fostering Outstanding Talent

[Namwon=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Jeong Young-kwon] The Chunhyang Scholarship Foundation (Chairman Choi Kyung-sik) announced on the 22nd that it held the 76th board meeting on the 21st at 2 p.m. in the city hall 2nd floor conference room, attended by 11 board members of the scholarship foundation.

At the meeting, they reviewed the supplementary budget to close out this year's projects, improvements and budget allocation for next year's educational support projects, revisions to the scholarship fund operation regulations, and improvements to the admission criteria for Namwon Scholarship Dormitory residents.

First, the academic achievement enhancement project, which was mainly aimed at middle and high schools, and the small-scale arts and physical education programs of an after-school nature were integrated and will be operated as an 'After-School Program Support Project' tailored to recent educational trends.

In particular, as many outstanding arts and physical education talents who have recently brought honor to Namwon, such as tennis player Jo Se-hyeok, modern dancer Jeong Geon-se, golfer An Hae-cheon, and boxer Gwak Hyo-jun, have emerged, new projects for nurturing gifted talents in arts and physical education and fostering masters in specialized high schools will be developed, and existing support projects will be expanded.

First, a special scholarship called 'Star of Namwon' will be established with detailed plans for support conditions, and budget support will be expanded for elementary, middle, and high schools operating arts and physical education talent development programs.

Also, among the residents of the Namwon Scholarship Dormitory located in Seoul, arts and physical education talents will be separately selected, and the 'designated donation system,' which allows donors to specify particular individuals, will be relaxed and operated more flexibly.

Chairman Choi Kyung-sik said, "We are considering the administrative role to prevent the outflow of gifted talents who have brought honor to Namwon," and added, "We will include the results in the research project for operating the Namwon Talent Academy in the first half of next year."
