Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

On June 7, 2019 the Chinese Embassy to Togo awarded 28 students from the University of Lomé the Ambassador Scholarship. The Chinese Embassy in Togo established the Ambassador Scholarship for the Confucius Institute at the University of Lomé to commend local students of Chinese majors with excellent academic performance and promote friendship between China and Togo. Through a press release dated Tuesday, January 22, 2019 Dodzi Kokoroko, president of the University of Lomé notified students that the institution signed partnership agreements with Chinese universities to offer scholarships. Chinese Ambassador to Togo, Chao Weidong, Vice President Pegma of the University of Lomé, and nearly a hundred teachers and students attended the award ceremony held at the University of Lomé. The Confucius Institute awards these scholarships each year, however a monetary amount was not specified. This scholarship was also awarded to students in 2018 (see Record ID#87723).
