Project narrative

On August 25, 2017, the Chinese Embassy hosted a sendoff ceremony for 116 Malawian students that were the 2017/18 recipients of the Chinese Government Scholarship. Ambassador Wang and Malawi Education Minister Msaka delivered speeches, and a number of senior officials from the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs attended. The scholarship covers a registration fee, tuition fee, fee for laboratory experiment, fee for internship, fee for basic learning materials and accommodation on campus. It also includes a living allowance, resettlement subsidy, and transportation. The total value of the scholarships is unknown. Since the establishment of diplomatic ties, China has provided approximately 600 government scholarships to Malawi.
