Read Books, Win Scholarship
- A total of ₩50,000,000 scholarship money is ready to be spent

Pukyong National University is to offer unprecedented amount of scholarship money to boost reading.
On June 10, the head of the PKNU library announced that the Library Mileage Point Scholarship, which will bring the total amount of 50 million won scholarship money award to 97 students who read the most, is ready to hit the road.
This means a student who shows enthusiasm in reading during a semester is to receive ₩200,000-2,000,000 scholarship money.
The amount of award money depends on the mileage point.
Students can earn the point by checking out books from the library and participating in the events run by the library.
Borrowing a book or an e-book wins 1 point, while fantasy or heroism book or DVD brings 0.5 point per one.
An overdue book reduces 0.5 point per a day, and there is no point if the borrowed book is returned at the same day.
Participating in the library events is another way of earning the mileage point. Each five points is accumulated whenever the student joins cultural event or reading program.
Making a reading club of 5-8 people also wins points. Twenty teams will acquire 20 to 70 points according to the assessment result of the activity report. Only being involved in the club can get 20 points.
A student who wins the best prize for the book report competition and one who reads more than 30 books in the recommended book list obtains 50 points respectively.
Adding up the mileage points of each student during seven months from June to December this year, the library is planning to give 2 million won to the one who marked the highest point, 1.5 million won to each of three second rank holders, 1 million won to each of five students who showed the third highest point. A total of 97 students will win a minimum of ₩200,000 up to ₩2,000,000.
Lee Byeong-heon, director of the library, said, “The program is intended to attract students who are too much into online activities and help them read regularly and build upright character.” <Pukyong Today>
