Top studying abroad students get awards at the Chinese Consulate General in San Francisco
The Chinese Consulate General in San Francisco presented awards to dozens of outstanding Chinese students currently studying in the US, as well as outstanding US students planning to study in China with scholarships. The annual awards are sponsored by the China Scholarship Council (CSC), a non-profit agency affiliated with the country's education ministry aimed at providing financial assistance to overseas Chinese students and foreign students wishing to study in China. In the San Francisco consular district, covering Alaska, Washington, Oregon, Northern California and Nevada, 21 Chinese doctoral students were each awarded certificates and $6,000 scholarships for 2014. Another 17 US students were granted certificates and full scholarships at the ceremony once they were accepted by Chinese universities for this fall semester.
