The government evaluates the capacity of each university every year, announces 'insolvent universities' and stops the country's financial support.
When a university becomes insolvent, finances become difficult, and some universities even have school bank accounts seized like bad credit.
The problem is that when the university bank account is seized, the national scholarships to be given to students are also tied up.
At the university where the reporters visited, more than 60 national work scholarship students had not been able to receive work scholarships for over a month.
Most of the work scholarship students have difficult family circumstances, so it is not easy to get help from their parents.
There were also students who were living off credit card loans or thinking about dropping out of school.
What measures are the universities taking?
Today's SBS 8 o'clock news will shed light on the absurd situation of non-payment of scholarships at insolvent universities and look for problems and alternatives.
