Two students are selected for the Ajou-Suwon Scholarship master's degree Program
 
2016-03-21
 
 
The 2016 scholarship award ceremony was held on March 15th in Yulgok Hall's Video Conference Room at Ajou University for the Ajou-Suwon Scholarship master’s degree Program (ASSP), which is operated by the Graduate School of International Studies under the University and the Suwon Center for International Cooperation (SWCIC).
 
 
ASSP was launched in 2014 by the Suwon Municipal Government to improve the competitiveness of the city and develop the infrastructure for international exchanges by attracting excellent talents from its sixteen sister and friendly cities in 13 countries.
 
 
During the event, Pham Minh Hang from Hai Duong Province, Vietnam and Benaissa Lamiae from Fez, Morocco were selected as scholarship students based on the recommendation from Suwon's sister cities. The selection raised the number of those benefiting from ASSP to five.
 
 
Starting from this year, scholarship funds for the students cover all the expenses, including tuition fees, boarding fees, and part of their living expenses for up to two years of the master's course, which amounts to 15 million won per year. Until last year, the scholarships funded half the tuition fees only.
 
 
After receiving the certificate of scholarship, Pham Minh Hang (Department of International Trade, Graduate School of International Studies) said, "I am so excited to be able to study with the scholarships provided by our sister city, Suwon. Upon receiving my master's degree, I will take the lead in promoting Ajou University in Vietnam and expanding exchanges between Suwon City and Hai Duong Province." Dean Jay Ick Lim of the Graduate School of International Studies said, "ASSP is in its third year with the partnership with Suwon City and I expect the program for attracting excellent foreign students to grow further and benefit even more students."
 
 
SWCIC Chief Man Ho Noh said, "We will continue the scholarship program in partnership with universities in Suwon, so that it can bring more outstanding foreign talents to the city."
 
 
The scholarship award ceremony was attended by about ten relevant officials, including Dean Jay Ick Lim, and Chief Man Ho Noh and team leader Jae Myeong Ha from SWCIC.
