The graduates, who worked as social workers in the field while pursuing their studies in graduate school, expressed their gratitude through this scholarship. They said that participating in various programs run by the Graduate School and Department of Social Welfare?not only classes, but also domestic and international field trips, academic conferences, and professional study groups?helped them enhance their expertise and apply the latest theories in practice.

Lee Mihui, a graduate who delivered the special scholarship to her juniors, said, "Although it is not a large amount, I hope it will provide a small but meaningful support to aspiring social workers who seek to help the socially disadvantaged through professional skills, giving them warmth, courage, and the capacity to grow," sending a message of encouragement and support.

Choi Miseon, head professor of the Silla University Graduate School of Social Welfare, expressed deep gratitude for the graduates' valuable intentions, stating, "We will continue to uphold the traditions of the Department of Social Welfare by hosting professional academic conferences, providing new social welfare training, and conducting research on transitional social welfare issues and policy tasks. We aim to develop not only as a specialized educational institution for social welfare, but also as a department and graduate school that contributes to the local community."

The Department of Social Welfare at Silla University has a long-standing tradition of graduate students supporting scholarships for their juniors, and all professors in the department regularly donate to the "Love for Students" scholarship fund every month, demonstrating their passionate commitment to nurturing future talent.
