Chinese Embassy in Jamaica awarded 5 UTech Jamaican students the Chinese Ambassador’s Scholarship

On 30 January 2018, five University of Technology (UTech) Jamaican students were presented with the Chinese Ambassador’s Scholarship by the Ambassador of the People’s Republic of China to Jamaica, Niu Qingbao. According to the University of Technology, the scholarships were funded by the Chinese Embassy in Jamaica and valued at $1M. The scholarships assisted students with tuition fees at UTech for the 2017/18 Academic Year. The scholarship awardees were Miss Rasneash Matthews, Miss Deriann Smith, Miss Toni-Ann Walters, Miss Afasha Foster, and Mr. Camrie Hines (who was absent from the presentation ceremony).

Additional details

The currency of the 1 million dollar scholarship value was not specified by the website. It was also not clear if each scholarship was valued at 1 million dollars or if all five scholarships were valued at 1 million dollars. One million Jamaican dollars was coded as the transaction value because it is the most conservative estimate.
