On the 5th, Tuition Review Committee Decides to 'Freeze'

Jeonbuk National University (President Yang Obong) has frozen undergraduate tuition fees for the 2024 academic year to share social hardships.

On the 5th, the Tuition Review Committee decided to freeze this year’s undergraduate tuition fees to fulfill its social responsibility as a flagship university leading regional development and to share social hardships during difficult times.

Although budget shortages are due to a sharp decline in the school-age population and continuous deterioration of university finances, these will be compensated through government financial support projects, research fund acquisitions, and fundraising for development funds.

President Yang Obong said, "We decided to freeze tuition fees for the 16th consecutive year to minimize the economic burden on students and parents and to pursue the goal of becoming a flagship university," adding, "We will strive to attract government support projects and development funds so that the tuition freeze does not affect student education and employment support."
