“Hope to be helpful to those in need”… parent of the late Jung Woo Seo, entrusted ten million Won to Dankook University.
Bestow a million Won to each of ten current students

Dankook University held a conferment ceremony of “scholarship of Jung Woo Seo” at 11:30 on the 13rd, bestowing a million Won to each of ten current students.

“Scholarship of Jung Soo Seo” was motivated by an unfortunate accident of bombardments in the land of “Yun Pyung” that led Jung Woo Seo to death, making his parents want to entrust ten million to Jung-Woo Seo’s old school, Dankook University with a hope to help those in need. Dankook University considers a strong mental defense and economic conditions for those in needs, selecting one student in each of colleges for total ten for “the first scholarship of Jung Woo Seo”. In addition, Dankook University plans to select scholarship students in the name of “Jung Woo Seo” every year to comment the spirit of self sacrifice, bestowing funds from college accounting.
