Financial aid sourced by the government
In recent years, following the deployment of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, the Ningbo municipal party committee and the municipal government have actively promoted the work of helping needy students. According to the current economic development and the situation of students' financial aids in Ningbo, a series of policy documents on funding students have been issued.
National Grants
Funding standards: 5,500 RMB per year for students with extreme financial difficulties and 2,860 RMB per year for students with general fiancial difficulties.
* DCL will send the application details via email in October.
National Student Loan
There are mainly two types of student loans: national student loans and student loans from the place of origin. Students apply for loans from banks in support of university, which are used to make up for the shortage of tuition, accommodation and living expenses during the study period. The loans will be repaid in installments after graduation.
Loan standards: no more than 12,000-16.000 RMB per year
*DCL provides supporting documents for students who apply for national student loan.
