Project narrative

The China-Mongolia Culture and Education Foundation, the Bank of China's Ulaanbaatar Representative Office and the National University of Mongolia announced the winners of the “Leading Star” Scholarship Program for students in December 2014. The “Leading Star” (“Тэргүүлэгч од”) scholarship program was organized and funded by the China-Mongolia Culture and Education Foundation in 2014. After the China-Mongolia Culture and Education Foundation merged with the China-Mongolia Social Development Fund in August 2017, the “Leading Star” scholarship program was run by the China-Mongolia Cultural Education and Social Foundation. The "Leading Star" scholarship program is co-organized by the Confucius Institute at the National University of Mongolia. Under the program, twice yearly, a total of 12 university students from either public or private will be selected throughout Mongolia. The 1st place student receives 10000 yuan, 3 tier two students receive 8000 yuan each, and 8 tier three students receive 5000 yuan each, totaling RMB 74,000 for all 12 winners of the scholarship; however, in October 2014, two sets of students had tied scores, so in addition to the 1st place winner and 3 tier two students, the Foundation presented the tier three award to 10 students instead of 8, bringing the total funding to RMB 84,000. Other scholarships from the China-Mongolia Cultural Education and Social Development Foundation are captured in linked Record ID#86933.
