It is reported that the Chinese Government Outstanding International Student Scholarship is a scholarship program established by the Ministry of Education to cultivate more international talents who know China and be friendly to China. The award is selected once a year. The Ministry of Education organizes experts to review the recommended students’ academic performance, scientific research ability and performance in China. Due to the large number of applicants, strict review requirements, and limited quotas, they are considered to be one of the international students’ highest honors by the Chinese government.
The awards of the above two students set an example for other international students of our school, and also reflected the significant improvement in the quality of education of our school's foreign students in China. Northeastern University will take this opportunity to further improve the quality of the training of international students in China, and strive to cultivate more high-level international talents who know China and friends in China.
