Scholarships increased for international students

International students receiving scholarships from the Chinese government will see an increase in their financial support.

According to a notice released by the ministries of finance and education on Wednesday, undergraduates will get up to 66,200 yuan ($10,700), master's students 79,200 yuan and doctoral students 99,800 yuan each year.

The new standard, which applies to students who enrolled in September, took into consideration factors including rising prices and the costs for Chinese higher education institutes, the ministries said.
