The "Domestic Graduate Education Grant" is a project to provide former and current national representatives with opportunities for career development and social advancement by providing them with expenses for obtaining master's and doctoral degrees. The award ceremony also held a "networking day" with existing and new beneficiaries.
At the award ceremony held at the Seoul Olympic Parktel on October 31, Chung Cholak, head of the Sports Promotion Division of the Korea Sports Corporation, attended to deliver scholarship certificates for new beneficiaries and had time to cheer for future studies with participants.
After the award ceremony, Cho Kyung-hwan, a former professional baseball player who completed his degree program through this project, and Woo Hee-joon, a former professor of outpatient studies at Deokseong Women's University, gave a lecture on the theme of 「The Career of Sportspeople」. In addition, former manager Go A-ra, who served on the organizing committee of the 'World Women's Curling Championships', gave a lecture on 'Preparation and Practice for the International Stage of Sports' and a networking time between the beneficiaries.
Director Chung Chalak, who attended the event, said, `I am very happy that this project has helped the national team-turned-athletes develop their professionalism and advance into society", and "We promise various support, including this project, to promote the welfare of athletes in the future, and we ask for your continued interest."
Meanwhile, in the second half of this year, a total of 76 people, including 16 new beneficiaries, including Kim Hyun-woo, a gold medalist in wrestling at the 30th London Olympics, and Seo Young-woo, a silver medalist in bobsleigh at the 23rd Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, were selected. They will receive up to 3 million won in admission and tuition per semester during the four semesters of graduate school years.
