“Please remember that
there are people with you, and do not give up!”
Migration to Asia Peace (MAP), a non-profit organization that supports refugees in restoring their lives and dignity, is carrying out various scholarship programs to expand opportunities for refugees and strengthen their capacities, as the number of refugees staying in Korea continues to grow. Among them, together with [Good Samaritan’s House], a shelter for migrants and refugees in Uijeongbu, we run the “Good Samaritan Scholarship,” a scholarship program for young refugees.
[Good Samaritan Scholarship]
- Eligibility :① Those preparing for higher education (young refugees aged 18 to 29) ② Those preparing for vocational education (refugee youth and young adults aged 14 to 29)
- Scholarship period : Support for at least 3 months and up to 9 months after selection (up to 2.5 million won for 3 months)
- Period : Cohort 1 – April to June 2022, Cohort 2 – July to September 2022, Cohort 3 – recruiting until October 17, 2022
Through the work so far, we have steadily confirmed that this scholarship program has a directly positive effect on young refugees’ overcoming of crises and self-development. Demand for the youth scholarship program has been very high, so the budget was used up much faster than expected, and the sponsoring organization, [Good Samaritan’s House], increased its donation. We are currently recruiting Cohort 3 scholarship recipients.
Recently, the sponsorship story of the sisters of [Good Samaritan’s House], who became the start of that remarkable change, was shared on MAP’s blog.
