MoU Agreement between KT&G Scholarship Foundation and KIST
On December 13, the KT&G Scholarship Foundation (Chairman: Bok In Baek) signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST; President: Dr. Seok-Jin Yoon) to support scholarships for KIST student researchers.
In the future, the KT&G Scholarship Foundation and
KIST will conduct a scholarship project to foster excellent talents in the science
and technology (S&T) sector through annual consultations.
KIST student researchers, who will be eligible to receive
the scholarships starting from this year, will be selected based on the excellence
of their research outcomes as part of the KT&G Scholarship Foundation’s
global scholarship project.
The selection method for scholarships will be decided
after a final review by the KT&G Scholarship Foundation of those nominated by
the KIST Scholarship Selection Committee. They will also participate in various
scholarship programs, such as S&T talent mentorships.
An official from the KT&G Scholarship Foundation stated,
"We hope that the new generation of researchers, who will be responsible
for advancing science and technology, will develop into great talents and
spread the value of sharing in the future."
Since 2018, the KT&G Scholarship Foundation has provided a total of 410 million won in scholarships to 345 foreign university students from Indonesia, Russia, and Turkey with the aim of discovering and fostering global talent.
