Labor scholarships are for students who will work in the department offices or professor’s laboratories but not for students who receive credit scholarships. Commonly, students who want to lower their tuition apply for it. Recently, however, the more the students receive national scholarships, the less the students apply for labor scholarships. Therefore, assigning scholarships can be different at each department.
  Scholarships of CBNU are divided among all colleges by considering the number of students of each department. The CBNU administration sends scholarships to each college, and each college sends scholarships to each department. There is a rule when departments assign the scholarships. More than 40% of scholarships must be assigned to credit scholarships, and the remaining scholarships can be assigned as labor scholarships. The way of assigning scholarships and selecting students can be different, and those are made by faculty meetings in the departments. Due to this process, it can be different depending on each department’s priorities, so that is the reason why different scholarship systems exist in every department. According to the CBNU’s labor scholarship system, there are three main types. 
  Firstly, most departments select students who don’t receive national scholarships or credit scholarships. There are many students who don’t receive scholarships. Because of many remaining students, the departments can give labor scholarships to the students. 
  Secondly, there are some departments where students who receive credit scholarships must work in the office just like labor students. In this case, the departments don’t create labor scholarships. Therefore, many students receive credit scholarships from those departments. Some departments record students’ work time in the school career management system so that students can receive volunteer points from it. Also, depending on each department’s regulations, there are some departments that don’t let students work in the office or let students work in different places. 
  Thirdly, there are some departments with fewer registered students at CBNU. In those departments, freshman and sophomores voluntarily work in the department office. Also, those departments don’t divide scholarships into credit or labor scholarships. Departments give all scholarships to the students as credit scholarships. Departments’ assistants manage a student's schedule. If the students have no time for working in the office, then assistants dispense with the labor. 
  In the CBNU bulletin board, some opinions were posted about the labor scholarship system, probably from misunderstandings.  In order to resolve misunderstandings about the labor scholarship system different in each department, scholarship system may be properly informed at each department.
