A special State grant of 800 million yuan (US$99 million) will be
available every year for poor students at secondary vocational schools
nationwide starting next month.
The grant, allocated by the central government, is to help cover tuition
for 800,000 poor students at public and private schools. Each student
will receive a yearly subsidy of 1,000 yuan (US$125), the Ministry of
Education announced at a press conference yesterday.
Students who apply for the grant must come from very poor families, and
certification of their family background issued by local authorities is
required, the ministry said.
