Description

On October 12, 2018, the China-Mongolia Cultural Education and Social Foundation awarded scholarships to Mongolian students. The "Dream Star" and "Future Star" scholarship recipients were presented with 3,000 yuan (approximately $437.32) each. It is unclear how many of the students were "Dream Star" scholarship recipients. However, this project captures the money awarded under the "Dream Star" program. The scholarship is organized by the China-Mongolia CESDF and co-organized by the Bank of China Representative Office in Ulaanbaatar and the Confucius Institute of Mongolia State University. The "Dream Star" (“Мөрөөдлийн 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 "Dream Star" scholarship program was run by the China-Mongolia Cultural Education and Social Foundation. The "Dream Star" scholarship program is co-organized by Bank of China Representative Office in Ulaanbaatar and the Confucius Institute at the National University of Mongolia. Under the program, a total of 30 Mongolian students that study Chinese, receive high grades at school, and score above a certain threshold on the scholarship examination will be selected to receive a scholarship of approximately RMB 3,000 each. These are: primary school students: 10 (grades 1-5), middle school students: 10 (grades 6-9), and high school students: 10 (grades 10-12). Under the scholarship, the recipients must be willing to study and learn Chinese language and culture and actively participate in any Chinese language and cultural competitions/events. See project ID #86933 for a full list of scholarships to Mongolian students from the China-Mongolia Cultural Education and Social Foundation.
