Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

For the 2020-2021 academic year, 11 Grenadian students were offered a scholarship by the Chinese government to pursue higher education in China. Financial details such as the scholarship's commitment date are unclear. According to Dr Zhao Yongchen, the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of China to Grenada, the purpose of this donation is to encourage students to take full advantage of this opportunity to learn professional knowledge and skills so as to make contribution to Grenada's economic and social development after graduation. The donation was given along with an additional 81 scholarships awarded to Grenadian students from Government of Grenada, in collaboration with St George’s University (SGU), the University of the West Indies, the People’s Republic of China, the Republic of Cuba, and Russia. The total value of these scholarships was over EC $19 million.
