The scholarships will cover the students' fees for the duration of their courses and have been awarded to outstanding students as part of the company's corporate social responsibility scheme.
Speaking at the ceremony, Mr Ryu said the company funded the scholarships to help students and contribute to human resource development, saying “Strong human resources will help to raise living standards to those of other nations.”
Mr Ryu said tha t he believed the scholarship recipients would work towards helping socio-economic development by promoting growth and reducing poverty, lifting Lao living standards to international levels.
He said the scholarship programme was a meaningful investment by the company, and their mother company in Korea, in the future of Laos and he was confident it would pave the way for more prosperous and mutually beneficial relations between Korea and Laos.
Mr Ryu said the company was very pleased to award scholarships to Lao students. “Our firm is very happy to help Lao society, especially outstand ing students, and is willing to provide more scholarships to other students in the future.”
Mr Xaypanya, one of the scholarship recipients, said he and his friend would make their teachers proud by studying hard and achieving the best results possible. “It is very meaningful for all scholarship awardees that we have been provided with these opportunities so we can strive to obtain a better education, especially by increasing our proficiency in the Korean language.”
“To be given this opportunity to secure a brighter future is very significant for the two of us,” he added.
The scholarships follow the company's donation of educational and sports supplies to primary schools in Hadxaifong and Xaythany districts in Vientiane over the past months. The donations were made under the slogan “BS Capital Lao Leasing Co., Ltd. - Sharing happiness with the Lao PDR”.
