On 24 August 2016, the Chinese Embassy in Zambia hosted a farewell ceremony for the 200 Zambian winners of various scholarship programs to study in China for the 2016-2017 academic year (umbrella Record ID#52438). More specifically, 54 Zambian students won the Chinese Government Scholarship. The value of these scholarships are unknown.
