On the 1st, Machang Bridge announced that it awarded scholarships to 50 students from Yanggok Elementary School, Yanggok Middle School, and Gapo High School in Changwon, Gyeongnam.

The scholarship recipients were selected after the respective school operation committees reviewed and deliberated on the candidates.
