Bybit, the world’s second largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, is proud to announce a generous scholarship program that will provide $100,000 to 300 students of St. Paul American Scholars (SPAS), a renowned international school in South Korea, for the 2025/26 academic year. This partnership, which includes both financial contributions and on-campus educational events, underscores Bybit’s commitment to fostering academic excellence and innovative thinking, nurturing future leaders fit for a connected world. The scholarship will provide deserving students with invaluable financial support and recognition, encouraging them to pursue their educational aspirations and explore the world with their talents. The scholarship recipients will represent a diverse range of cultures and achievements, including support for SPAS students who demonstrate academic excellence, scholarships for international students, sibling scholarships, and need-based support for children of employees. By investing in budding talent with global ambitions, Bybit aims to create lasting change and inspire students to reach their full potential. The funds will be disbursed within 30 days of the agreement, with a detailed report on their allocation provided within 60 days of disbursement.
In addition to the monetary rewards, Bybit and SPAS will host on-campus events, promoting community engagement and collaboration between students, parents, and educators. This initiative is fully aligned with SPAS’ philosophy that education is a “three-legged stool,” supported by teachers, parents, and students working together.
Established in 2015, Saint Paul American Scholars (SPAS) operates four campuses in major metropolitan areas of Korea: Gwanggyo, Bundang, Dongtan, and Ansan. Recognized as one of the leading American educational institutions in Korea, SPAS is fully accredited by the Middle States Association (MSA), Accreditation International (AI), National Council for Private School Accreditation (NCPSA), and Cognia.
In addition, SPAS offers international exchange programs through partnerships with Knox College in New York, CIC College in Canada, and Prince Bishop Summer School in the United Kingdom, providing students with valuable opportunities to experience diverse cultures and global perspectives.
“Today’s emerging talent is the foundation for a better future, and we are honored and excited to support the outstanding students at SPAS. This scholarship demonstrates our commitment to creating opportunities that empower young minds and inspire positive impact,” said Helen Liu, CEO of Bybit.
As SPAS continues to grow, including introducing native-speaker Chinese classes and plans to open a new campus in Hanoi, Vietnam, the partnership with Bybit will further enhance the educational landscape, ensuring that students are well-prepared for a globalized world.
The SPAS partnership is a new addition to Bybit’s community and philanthropic initiatives in forward-thinking education and knowledge sharing. This native crypto company has contributed to causes and projects at the American University of Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates and continues its global footprint through the Crypto Content Creator Campus.
