Koscom granted Certificates of Dream Tree Scholarship

Koscom(CEO Kim Kwang Hyun), which has been responsible for major IT infrastructure of Korean capital market since its establishment, granted scholarship certificates to the 7th Dream Tree Scholarship recipients who were invited to the company on August 26th.

Dream Tree Scholarship is granted to elementary, middle, and high school students who accomplish excellent academic achievements despite their social and economic hardships. The program began in December of 2002. The scholarship is granted every month with the donation raised by both Koscom and its labour union.

Up until recently, about 220 million won has been raised and granted to a total of 64 students. Starting this year, Koscom has increased scholarship amount and the number of recipients in consideration of the difficulties of low-income families which have been worse by recent economic downturn.

In addition to the scholarship, Koscom counsels the students on their school life and career path by exchanging letters with them.

CEO of Koscom Kim Kwang Hyun stated, "Koscom has received lots of love and supports from the customers. Now it's our turn to give them back to the society. Koscom will continue to expand the Dream Tree Scholarship program so that students will not lose their hopes and dreams because of economic hardships."

Meanwhile, Koscom organized a charity group called "Living Together“ in 2003 and has volunteered for diverse social contribution activities such as visiting social welfare facilities every month and hosting blood donation campaign, briquette sharing events, and so on.
