Scholarships Worth a Total of 250 Million Won for University Students Balancing Work and Studies

SPC Group announced on the 24th that it is recruiting scholarship recipients for the ‘SPC Happy Scholarship,’ which supports university students who are balancing work and studies.

This SPC Happy Scholarship support is divided into two categories: ▲part-time university students working at SPC affiliated brand stores such as Paris Baguette, Baskin Robbins, Dunkin, and Pascucci ▲and ‘Family Care Youth’ selected with support from the nonprofit organization Busuragi Sarang Nanumhoe (young people who care for family members with physical and mental illnesses while managing their studies under economically difficult circumstances).

Part-time university students can apply through the SPC Group website by February 2nd, and a total of 120 students will be selected based on criteria such as length of service, work attitude, family circumstances, and assignment evaluations. External scholarship candidates can apply through the Busuragi Sarang Nanumhoe website by February 16th, and a total of 30 students will be selected based on family circumstances, the illness history of family members, and whether they are responsible for household duties. The 150 selected scholarship recipients will receive scholarships equivalent to 50% of the average tuition fee for one semester, totaling 250 million KRW.

An SPC Happy Foundation official stated, “We continue to operate the SPC Happy Scholarship to ease the burden on university students who balance work and studies, even if only a little,” and added, “We will continue to carry out various activities to support the dreams of young people.”

The SPC Happy Scholarship is a tuition support social contribution project operated twice a year every semester since 2012, following Chairman Hur Young-in’s wish to “support young people working in stores to nurture their dreams.” Up to 2023, a total of 2,327 scholarship recipients have received cumulative scholarships amounting to 4.1 billion KRW.
