Ting Hsin funds needy students

Disadvantaged Chinese undergraduates can apply to the Ting Hsin Foundation for a scholarship of 4,000 yuan ($596) from July 11, according to the foundation's website. This year, the foundation plans to provide scholarships for 300 outstanding but underprivileged undergraduates to help them complete their university education. The scholarship was initiated in 2007 and has supported roughly 3,100 undergraduates with more than 11.5 million yuan so far. The Ting Hsin Foundation was established by Ting Hsin International Group, a Taiwan-based company that owns several food and beverage brands well-known across China.
