On October 25th, Ajou University held a ceremony to present the fourth certificates of the 'Kim Su Jeong Scholarship' at the University's Yulgok Hall. A total of ten students received the scholarship funds.


The 'Kim Su Jeong Scholarship' was established in 2015 when Kim's father Jung Gweon Kim (entering class of 1973, Ajou's Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering) and his wife donated 300 million won in scholarships to the University in accordance with the wishes of their late daughter after she died from lymphatic cancer. The scholarship funds have been awarded to students experiencing difficult financial conditions and students in the School of Medicine wishing to specialize in lymphatic cancer.


The ceremony was attended by Jung Gweon Kim, Ho Yeong Suh – mother of the late Su Jeong Kim, scholarship students, Executive Vice President for Industry-Academia Cooperation Kyung Hee Choi, Vice President for Planning Jung Seob Lee, Vice President for Student Affairs Jai Hyoung Cho, Dean Jung Yol Jo of the College of Information Technology, Dean Seung Ik Yoo of the College of Social Sciences, and Professor Yun Hoon Choung of the School of Medicine.


Mr. Kim gave certificates of scholarships to the students and the representative of the students read words of appreciation.


Mr. Kim and Mrs. Suh said, "It feels like all of you are our children after we made the donation to the University," adding, "I hope that you will play important roles as trusted talents in many fields of our society and for the University after graduation."


Executive Vice President Choi expressed his appreciation to Mr. Kim and Mrs. Suh on behalf of Ajou people.
