Description

On December 30th, 2019, the Chinese Embassy in Benin awarded 45 Benin students, from 15 different majors and 4 public institutions in Benin, the "Belt and Road" scholarships. The exact amount of the scholarships is not known. The Ministry of Higher Education was also involved with awarding scholarships. At the ceremony, the students also performed a drama to demonstrate friendly relations between China and Benin.

Additional details

The images on this embassy article (see "彭惊涛大使出席“一带一路”奖学金颁发仪式") show a large check that labeled at 200,000 CFA Francs. This amount has not been coded into this project because it is unclear how many scholarships the amount covers. Another image shows two such checks, with many students in view.
