Description

On 18 August 2011, the Chinese Ambassador hosted a reception sending off 20 Samoan students who won scholarships from the Chinese government to study in China during the 2011/12 academic year. The value of each scholarship is unknown. The awardees arrived in China in early September 2011. Out of 20 students, 13 received the Chinese Government Scholarship under the bilateral scholarship scheme, and the remaining 7 (#73682) were awarded through the China-Pacific Islands Forum (umbrella project #73681). Of the new arrivals, three were postgraduate students doing masters degrees. At that time, Samoa currently had the largest number of scholarship students (64) from the Pacific Islands in China, with a third of them studying in Beijing universities and the rest attending universities in other major cities, such as Shanghai, Nanjing, Wuhan, Guangzhou, Tianjin, Chongqing, Dalian, and Harbin.
