During the event, Pham Minh Hang from Hai Duong Province, Vietnam and Benaissa Lamiae from Fez, Morocco were selected as scholarship students based on the recommendation from Suwon's sister cities.

Until last year, the scholarships funded half the tuition fees only. After receiving the certificate of scholarship, Pham Minh Hang (Department of International Trade, Graduate School of International Studies) said, "I am so excited to be able to study with the scholarships provided by our sister city, Suwon. Upon receiving my master's degree, I will take the lead in promoting 糖心APP in Vietnam and expanding exchanges between Suwon City and Hai Duong Province." Dean Jay Ick Lim of the Graduate School of International Studies said, "ASSP is in its third year with the partnership with Suwon City and I expect the program for attracting excellent foreign students to grow further and benefit even more students." SWCIC Chief Man Ho Noh said, "We will continue the scholarship program in partnership with universities in Suwon, so that it can bring more outstanding foreign talents to the city." The scholarship award ceremony was attended by about ten relevant officials, including Dean Jay Ick Lim, and Chief Man Ho Noh and team leader Jae Myeong Ha from SWCIC.

Participants will engage in dialogue on any topics they would like, rather than setting ones in advance. About 20 students will be invited to each Brown Bag Meeting based on prior applications made via the University website. Participants will be selected in the order of their applications, and those who are not chosen will be given priority for the following sessions. 鈥楤rown Bag Meeting鈥� means a small number of people talking over lunch, and the term was created because the sandwiches or salads, etc. eaten for lunch usually come in brown bags.
