Final Reports 

In an era where higher education is being reshaped by rapid technological advances, social challenges, and shifting student needs, Kyung Hee University is pioneering a fresh model of student engagement through an initiative called the “Kyung Hee Dream Challenge Scholarship”. Unlike traditional scholarships that are limited to financial aid or merit-based awards, this program embraces a broader vision: to fund curiosity, ambition, and social imagination. It does not ask, “What are your grades?” but instead asks, “What kind of change do you want to create?” A Platform for Turning Dreams into Action Launched with the goal of nurturing 21st-century changemakers, the scholarship offers seed funding, mentorship, and institutional support for students who design their own projects. These projects may span entrepreneurship, applied research, cultural production, community development, or technological innovation. Every recipient works closely with a faculty mentor, creating a structure that combines academic rigor with hands-on problem-solving. The university describes it as a way of “bridging theory with practice,” ensuring that students are not only learning within classrooms but also making meaningful contributions to both local and global communities. Student Projects with Societal Reach The variety and depth of student projects supported within just the past year showcase the scholarship’s transformative model: Heritage Meets Innovation: Tourism student Park Min-kyung created the cultural brand “ROK TIGER”, blending South Korea’s national identity into modern design. She developed Independence Day-themed merchandise and conceptualized a “Dokdo-shaped bread mold,” reflecting patriotism through cultural entrepreneurship. Her project reached crowdfunding platforms, highlighting how youth-driven storytelling can preserve heritage while appealing to contemporary audiences.                   AI for Global Education: Media major Ryu Ji-min designed an AI-driven Korean language learning system that integrates voice recognition, ChatGPT API, and short-form social media content. By leveraging artificial intelligence, he created an inclusive tool that addresses rising global interest in Korean culture and language while improving accessibility for learners abroad.                    Law in Action: Students Park Ji-soo and Jung Ah-yoon from the College of Liberal Studies tackled the housing fraud crisis affecting Korean youth. They analyzed court precedents, identified legal loopholes, and produced both a legislative proposal and card news campaigns. This initiative directly engaged with one of South Korea’s most urgent urban issues, turning legal research into advocacy and practical policy solutions. Cultural Creation & Community: English literature major Jeong Min-gyo spearheaded the “Slow Film Festival,” a student-run cultural event that challenges the instant-consumption model of modern video entertainment. Emulating the concept of “fine dining,” the festival curated independent short films to be slowly savored by audiences, sparking dialogue about art, society, and the need to reclaim meaningful cultural spaces. Social Entrepreneurship in Healthcare: Dentistry student Nam Gyu-ri founded “Chikitaka,” a social impact brand offering on-the-go oral care solutions. The project introduced three prototype products – dissolvable fluoride oral films for children, portable tongue cleaners, and capsule-type gargle pods – all designed with mobility, accessibility, and preventive health in mind. The brand concept links clinical expertise with the real-world health needs of busy families and working professionals. Sustainable Heritage Content: History major Seong Eun-bi led the creation of “Kkuong-i History & Culture e-Guide,” an interactive eBook that connects local historical landmarks, culinary traditions, and sustainable tourism. By using familiar storytelling tools and making content publicly accessible, the project aimed to spark greater appreciation for heritage while promoting environmentally conscious travel. Beyond Individual Projects: A Two-Stage Model The program includes a multi-layered mechanism: Dream Challenge I – Initial seed projects, where students test their creativity and turn early-stage ideas into prototypes. Dream Challenge II – Extended mentorship and funding for outstanding performers, allowing them to carry out deeper, long-term research or business scaling. In this way, the scholarship nurtures not only short-term achievements but also sustainable growth trajectories. Students progress from curiosity-driven exploration to execution-ready leadership roles, learning resilience and adaptability. Impact on Students and Society The measurable returns are striking: Over 200 projects initiated across disciplines within the last three years. Cultural events, digital tools, and policy outputs reaching beyond campus. Student startups participating in crowdfunding and national competitions. Research outputs cited in policy discussions addressing urgent youth issues. But numbers only tell part of the story. For many students, this scholarship has become a turning point in identity formation. Several reflect that it allowed them to think of themselves not just as students fulfilling course requirements, but as changemakers, cultural curators, researchers, and entrepreneurs with a civic mission. One participant described the experience as “a bridge between our youthful imagination and the society that needs it.” A Shift in Scholarship Philosophy The Kyung Hee model represents a departure from the conventional understanding of scholarships as financial relief. It recognizes the agency of students as active producers of knowledge and culture, rather than passive recipients of education. By focusing on values such as sustainability, inclusivity, cultural diversity, and social innovation, the Dream Challenge Scholarship positions higher education as an ecosystem where individual dreams and collective futures converge. Looking Forward Kyung Hee University aims to expand the reach of the program, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, cross-cultural initiatives, and global dissemination of student-led projects. Plans are underway to improve the financial structures of the scholarship – including more flexible disbursement methods – so students can access funds when they most need them for ambitious projects. Perhaps most importantly, the program is reshaping what success in higher education looks like. Achievements are not measured only by exams or publications, but also by entrepreneurial courage, cultural imagination, and the ability to respond to real-world crises. Conclusion By funding social imagination and encouraging students to walk uncharted paths, Kyung Hee University’s Dream Challenge Scholarship has evolved into a global model of holistic student support. Projects born from this initiative demonstrate that when universities trust students with responsibility, creativity, and resources, the outcomes can ripple across communities, industries, and even policymaking arenas. As South Korea and the wider world grapple with social and cultural transformations, initiatives like this suggest that the university campus is not simply an academic site, but a laboratory of societal change. For Kyung Hee University, “dreams” are no longer distant visions—they are already taking shape in classrooms, startups, festivals, and policy proposals.
