The Mediheal Global Ambassador Scholarship was created with the aim of helping KU international students to enjoy experiencing Korean culture and to act as liaisons between Korea and their countries after going back home.

Ohsub Kwon, the CEO of L&P Cosmetics, said, “Numerous customers from all around the world have given tremendous love to Mediheal. Now Mediheal wants to give back and donate funds for KU foreign students in order to help them enjoy their studies and cultural activities.”

The Mediheal Global Ambassador Scholarship provides KRW 200 thousand each month for a year for fifty international students who are in their fourth year in KU.
