2024 임지훈 재단 장학금 공고
미 동부 대학생들을 위한 프로그램 ($5,000씩 20명)
저희 재단의 2024년 장학금 공고가 나왔는데요, 미국 동부에서 대학을 다니고 있는 가족, 친구, 지인이 있는 분들은 이 내용을 공유해주셔도 좋을 것 같습니다.
20명의 학생을 선발해서 장학금 $5,000씩 지급이 되고, 선발된 학생들끼리 네트워킹을 하면서 향후 좋은 친구가 될 수 있도록 다양한 모임들이 진행될 예정입니다. 학생들이 원할 경우 제가 멘토링을 해주는 것은 당연하고요.
자세한 내용은 아래 공고문과 홈페이지를 참고해주시면 되겠습니다. 참고로 마감은 2024년 1월 31일입니다.

P.S. Please note that incoming first-year college students are no longer eligible for this year's scholarship program. This change is a result of adjustments made to the scholarship cycle, as the scholarship reception will now be held in April instead of September. High school seniors are encouraged to apply for the scholarship next year.
