Scholarships help students chase personal development
When an individual pursues personal change, it is important for them to remain mindful about how their actions affect those around them. Improving the self has little relevance if it comes at the expense of another's happiness
For this reason, philosopher and author Ilchi Lee recently announced that his school, Global Cyber University will offer 50 percent scholarships for all students, which may help many individuals go after their goals of personal development.
The school offers classes in global business management, human services and Korean cultural studies. Aside from regular business lessons, each class offers students insights on how they can use their newly acquired skills to serve the world and make it a better place.
The HongIk Scholarship takes its name from this guiding principle. It comes from a Korean phrase that means "people who provide a wide-benefit for the betterment of the world."
Education plays a major role in Ilchi Lee's thoughts on spiritual growth. It is impossible to develop the self without working to improve the world, and a strong education can give individuals the skills to accomplish this.
