[이데일리 이진철 기자] Shinhan Bank announced on the 11th that it has provided a scholarship of 75 million won to 210 elementary, middle, high school and university students in seven countries as part of an overseas scholarship project with the Shinhan Financial Hope Foundation.
Shinhan Bank’s overseas scholarship project started in China in 1997 and has been providing scholarships through local subsidiaries in seven countries in Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, India, Cambodia, Myanmar, and Indonesia. By 2020, a total of 6698 people received about 1.2 billion won in scholarships.
This year, due to the aftermath of the spread of Corona 19 around the world, scholarships were delivered online and on a small scale through a video system according to the local situation.
A Shinhan Bank official said, “It contains the meaning of win-win growth with the country and the region beyond entering the country to increase profits.” We will continue to serve as a sponsor of the community we support.”
Meanwhile, Shinhan Bank is also taking the lead in the’Global One Shinhan Volunteer Festival,’ held annually at the level of Shinhan Financial Group for local development and solving local community problems. This year, we also carried out humanitarian emergency relief projects, especially for countries affected by Corona 19.
A local subsidiary in China donated a donation to the Wuhan City Charity Congress and provided masks to Corona 19 patients and marginalized residents. Local subsidiaries in Myanmar and Kazakhstan quickly sent diagnostic reagents, medical supplies, and protective clothing.
