Bae Seong-geun, Scholarship Director of the Korea Student Aid Foundation, said, “We are grateful to the Yeonam Scholarship Foundation for providing scholarships to college students who find it difficult to focus on their studies due to financial difficulties. This support from the Yeonam Scholarship Foundation will be a great help to college students in need of social consideration, and we will continue to work hard with donors to ensure that any college student with will and ability can enjoy educational opportunities.”

Moon Seong-hoon, Director of the Yeonam Scholarship Foundation, said, “It is meaningful to support college students in need together with the Korea Student Aid Foundation. Since its establishment in 1976, the Yeonam Scholarship Foundation has supported about 6,500 scholarship recipients, and we will continue to support college students facing financial difficulties so they can freely pursue their dreams.”

A student who benefited from the Blue Lighthouse Yeonam Scholarship Foundation donation scholarship said, “I was in a situation where it was difficult to focus solely on my studies due to livelihood issues, but being selected as a scholarship recipient this time has eased my burden. I sincerely thank the Yeonam Scholarship Foundation and the Korea Student Aid Foundation for their support, and I will use this scholarship as a stepping stone to enter graduate school and continue pursuing my dreams.”
