Chinese Consulate in Penang provides scholarships to 25 students in Perlis State

On 13 December, 2019, Consul General Lu Shiwei announced that the Chinese Consulate in Penang, Malaysia will provide scholarships to 25 students of Chinese descent at Perlis Middle School in Perlis State, Malaysia. Consul General Shiwei announced the scholarships during a visit to Perlis Middle School. According to the Consulate, the scholarships are designed to encourage Chinese education in Perlis State and to help encourage students to study abroad in China.

Additional details

AidData is unable to determine the specific contents (i.e. transportation, names of universities, etc.) or financial amount of the scholarship. Based on the source, it is unclear if the scholarships are intended for study in China itself; therefore, AidData has coded this project as a grant instead of a scholarship for study in the donor country. Given that the location of the scholarships are unclear and the Consulate's description of seeking to encourage Chinese education, AidData has labeled this project as having representational intent.
