Graduate students at Soonchunhyang University have achieved the distinction of being selected simultaneously for both the master's and doctoral programs in the Ministry of Education and National Research Foundation of Korea's "Humanities and Social Sciences Research Encouragement Grant Project," leveraging the university's research scholarship system as a foundation.

According to Soonchunhyang University on August 18, Soojin Choi, a master's program student in the Department of Education and Science, was selected as the representative outstanding project in the master's category for her research titled "Analyzing the Mechanism from Suicidal Ideation to Suicidal Behavior: Application of the Interpersonal Theory of Suicide (IPTS)."

In addition, Dayeon Seo, a doctoral program student, was also included in the final selection list, demonstrating the graduate school's research competitiveness.

This achievement is attributed to the research scholarship system operated by the Soonchunhyang University Graduate School.

Soonchunhyang University provides scholarship benefits of approximately 25 million KRW per person for master's students, with a total of 2.1 billion KRW awarded in the 2024 academic year. Out of around 400 graduate students, 61% of enrolled students received support.

Additionally, various types of support such as the Outstanding Paper Scholarship, Overseas Conference Participation Scholarship, and Overseas Training Scholarship have been provided concurrently, creating an environment where students can focus on their research with stability.

President Song Byung-guk stated, "The fact that a representative outstanding project was produced in the newly established Humanities and Social Sciences master's program research encouragement grant this year, and that a doctoral student was selected at the same time, is the result of our graduate school's scholarship support system. We will continue to strengthen our support so that graduate students can devote themselves to their studies without financial burden."
