According to statistics, more than 37 million people in colleges and universities across the country receive financial aid every year. Take 20 13 as an example. Nearly13 of the more than 26 million college students in China have won scholarships. More than 7.7 million people have won scholarships at all levels, including national scholarships, accounting for 29% of students. Second, nearly 1/3 was funded.

Q 3: What are the sources of university student grants?
A: Financial input is the main source of financial aid for college students, and the sources are increasingly diversified. According to the statistics of the National Student Financial Assistance Management Center, in 20 13 years, the total amount of college student financial assistance was 57.4 billion yuan. First, 1/2 is funded by finance. The rest, 2 1% comes from the income of colleges and universities, 26% comes from the national student loans of financial institutions, and 3% comes from donations from social organizations, enterprises, institutions and individuals. Second, two-thirds of the financial funds come from the central government. Of the 28.8 billion yuan of financial funds, the central government arranged 17 1 billion yuan, accounting for 60%; The local financial allocation is11700 million yuan, accounting for 40%. Third, nearly 80% of the subsidy funds are used for awards and loans. Of the total funding, scholarships and grants at all levels account for 54%, and national student loans and discount interest funds account for 26%.
Question 4: How to ensure the implementation of the financial aid policy for college students?
A: In order to ensure the implementation of the financial aid policy for college students, relevant departments of the central government, local governments at all levels and schools have continuously increased their investment, and at the same time established and improved the financial aid guarantee mechanism for college students, striving to make every student with financial difficulties do their best to help and lend. From the central government to the local government, first, the institutions are sound. A five-level management system and leadership mechanism at the national, provincial, municipal, county and university levels have been basically established, and a management mode and operation mechanism with central macro guidance, overall leadership at the provincial level, active cooperation by cities and counties, earnest implementation by districts and counties and comprehensive implementation by universities have been formed. The second is to improve the system. The financial aid system for college students has been basically established, and various financial aid policies have formulated corresponding supporting measures. For example, national scholarships have systems such as quota allocation, qualification recognition, evaluation and publicity, and distribution management. The national student loan has mechanisms such as risk compensation, reward return, risk sharing, credit management, performance appraisal, and compensation with awards. Third, publicity is in place. Colleges and universities all over the country strive to become household names through various forms of publicity and interpretation of state funding policies.
From home to school, from high school to colleges and universities, the funding policies are seamlessly connected.
Q 5: what kind of financial aid can freshmen with financial difficulties apply for after receiving the admission notice?
A: Every June, the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Education will print millions of copies of "Introduction to Financial Aid Policy for College Students" and "Questionnaire on College Students and Their Families", which will be sent to every freshman together with the admission notice. After understanding the national funding policy, freshmen fill in the questionnaire truthfully, and after being verified and stamped by the local township or street civil affairs department, they apply for funding projects before and after enrollment: First, if they have difficulties in traveling expenses and short-term living expenses after enrollment, they can apply for funding projects for freshmen with financial difficulties in the central and western regions. This is set up by the central government with the help of the central special lottery public welfare fund, which provides a one-time subsidy for high school graduates with financial difficulties who are admitted to full-time colleges and universities in the central and western regions for transportation expenses and short-term living expenses after enrollment. You can apply to the local county education department or directly to the original high school. After appraisal, each student can get a one-time subsidy 1000 yuan in 500 yuan and outside the province. Second, if it is difficult to pay tuition and living expenses during school, you can apply for a student-origin credit loan. At present, most provinces have started student-origin credit loans, covering 30 provinces and 86% districts and counties. Most students can apply online or pre-apply in high school. After being audited and sealed by the local civil affairs department or the high school where you are located, you can sign a loan contract at the county-level student financial assistance center and receive a loan acceptance certificate. When they enter school, the school will help them with the loan confirmation receipt procedures. The maximum loan amount per undergraduate student per year does not exceed 8,000 yuan, and the maximum loan amount for graduate students does not exceed12,000 yuan. The interest during the school period is fully subsidized by the finance. Third, freshmen who can't pay tuition and accommodation fees can also apply for admission through the "green channel". Freshmen with financial difficulties can't afford tuition and accommodation for a while. First of all, they can report on time through the "green channel" opened by the school. After entering the school, they will report the family's financial difficulties to the school, and the school will take different measures to give financial assistance after verification.
Question 6: What channels can be used for policy consultation and problem complaint?
A: In order to unblock the channels of letters and visits from the masses, facilitate college students and their parents to understand the student financial aid policy and reflect the problem of inadequate implementation of the financial aid policy, the Ministry of Education has set up a unified supervision and reporting telephone number throughout the year: 0 10-660923 15 and 660933 15. From August 15 to September 15 every year, a special hotline for college students' financial assistance is set up during freshmen's enrollment, which is opened from 8 am to 8 pm every day. At the same time, the Ministry of Education also answers relevant questions through the policy consultation column set up on the portal website, and students and parents can also reflect relevant issues related to the implementation of the subsidy policy through letters. Students can go to the school student management department to consult and go through the formalities. In addition to the education sector, individual financial institutions have also set up consultation telephones. For example, China Development Bank set up a hotline 95593 throughout the year. Students who want to know about the student loan business of China Development Bank can call for advice.
Good performance, diligent hands and feet, and more glorious to get funding.
Question 7: Who can get what national scholarship policies while at school?
A: Full-time undergraduate students in colleges and universities, including higher vocational students and second-degree students, as well as full-time graduate students included in the enrollment plan, can apply for the following three types of scholarship projects: First, students from poor families can get state grants. This is a poverty alleviation project funded by the central and local governments. The national average of 20% of college students can get it; From the fall semester of 20 14, all full-time graduate students who are included in the national graduate enrollment plan of ordinary universities can be obtained. The funding standard is 3,000 yuan per undergraduate student per year, not less than 6,000 yuan for master students and not less than 1 1,000 yuan for doctoral students. State grants are paid by the school on a monthly basis to meet the basic living expenses during the school period. Second, it is particularly outstanding and can apply for a national scholarship. This is an award-winning project funded by the central government, which awards 45,000 outstanding graduate students and 50,000 outstanding junior college students every year. The award standard is 8,000 yuan per year for undergraduates, 20,000 yuan per year for master students and 30,000 yuan per year for doctoral students. The national scholarship is a one-time award, which is equivalent to the current tuition standard and even has savings. The winner can basically solve the tuition expenses during the school period. Third, families with financial difficulties and excellent academic performance can apply for national inspirational scholarships or academic scholarships. This is a funded project that combines rewarding the excellent and helping the poor, and is jointly established by the central and local governments. The National Inspirational Scholarship is aimed at junior college students who are in the second year or above, have excellent academic performance and have financial difficulties in their families. Junior college students can get a reward of 5,000 yuan per student every year. Postgraduate scholarships were established from the fall semester of 20 14 to reward and support graduate students from poor families with excellent academic performance and outstanding scientific research achievements to better complete their studies. Each student does not exceed 1.2 million yuan per year, and master students do not exceed 1.8 million yuan per year. Both inspirational scholarships and academic scholarships can be used to solve the problem of learning expenses during school. That is to say, for students with financial difficulties in their families, after receiving state grants, they can basically solve the expenses such as tuition, accommodation, basic living expenses or learning expenses during their school days by applying for national scholarships, national inspirational scholarships and academic scholarships.
Question 8: What are the procedures for obtaining aid policies from these countries?
A: After the fall semester starts every year, colleges and universities organize the evaluation of national scholarships. First, I apply. Students who are interested in participating in the national scholarship can apply to their department, fill in the application approval form, and attach relevant supporting materials. The second is qualification. Students who apply for national inspirational scholarships, academic scholarships and state grants need to pass the qualification of students with financial difficulties in their families. Among them, the national scholarship for junior college students and the national inspirational scholarship cannot be applied at the same time in the same academic year. The third is the comprehensive ranking. In principle, students who apply for national scholarships in our university should rank in the top 65,438+00% in academic performance and comprehensive evaluation results. If one or both of them rank above the top 65,438+00%, but both of them are within the top 30%, they can only apply for national scholarships if they are outstanding in other aspects. The fourth is two-level publicity. The department will conduct a preliminary evaluation by organizing defense and democratic appraisal, and form a recommendation list and report it to the school for approval. In order to ensure the openness and fairness of the evaluation results, the evaluation of national scholarships is generally publicized at two levels: departments and schools. During the publicity period, students can complain to the relevant departments if they have objections.
Question 9: In addition to receiving national scholarships, what channels can college students get grants during their school years and how to get them?
A: First, some normal students can enjoy the free education policy. Normal students in six normal universities directly under the Ministry of Education, such as Beijing Normal University, East China Normal University, Northeast Normal University, Central China Normal University, Shaanxi Normal University and Southwest University, and some pilot normal colleges in some places can enjoy the policy of free tuition, paying accommodation and subsidizing living expenses during their studies. Second, families with financial difficulties can apply for national student loans on campus to solve the tuition problem. Full-time college students and graduate students with financial difficulties can apply for national student loans from the handling bank through the Student Financial Assistance Office of our school. The maximum loan amount shall not exceed 8,000 yuan per junior college student per year, and12,000 yuan per graduate student per year. With the vigorous development of student-origin credit loan, most provinces have stopped the campus loan business. If you want to apply for a national student loan on campus, you can first contact the university you are studying and ask if you can apply for a national student loan on campus. Second, enlisted students can apply for tuition compensation loan compensation to solve the tuition and repayment problems. College students who are enlisted for compulsory military service can log in to the college student recruitment registration system when they join the army and apply for one-time compensation or compensation. After being audited and stamped by the school and stamped by the county-level recruitment office, the school will help them handle it. Those who voluntarily return to school after retirement, or those who enroll (students who reserve admission qualifications and join the army directly after admission to the college entrance examination), apply to the school for tuition fee reduction after enrollment. Undergraduate students do not exceed 8000 yuan per year, and graduate students do not exceed 12000 yuan per year. Third, retired soldiers can enjoy tuition assistance. Tuition subsidies will be given to self-employed retired soldiers who have been retired for more than 1 year and admitted to full-time colleges and universities. Undergraduate students do not exceed 8000 yuan per year, and graduate students do not exceed 12000 yuan per year. Starting from 20 14, the tuition subsidy for retired soldiers will be in the form of "exemption first and subsidy later", that is, colleges and universities will waive tuition fees for retired soldiers who meet the funding conditions first, and after examination, the central government will allocate the tuition subsidy funds for retired soldiers to the corresponding colleges and universities according to procedures. Fourth, those who have spare capacity can apply for work-study programs and "three assistance" post allowances to improve their study and living conditions. Under the organization of the school, students use their spare time to get legal remuneration through their own labor, which is used for social practice activities to improve their study and living conditions. In principle, the working hours of college students should not exceed 8 hours per week and 40 hours per month, and the hourly remuneration should not be lower than RMB in 8 yuan. Colleges and universities make overall use of education funds, research funds, tuition income, social donations and other funds to set up "three-help" posts for graduate students and provide "three-help" subsidies. By establishing and perfecting the tutor responsibility system and tutor project funding system, colleges and universities provide graduate students with scientific research auxiliary posts and mobilize their enthusiasm for participating in scientific research and social practice. The research subsidy is mainly paid by the labor cost and research management fee in the research project funds. At the same time, graduate students can also apply to the graduate management department of the school for teaching assistant and assistant management positions, and the funds required for teaching assistant allowance and assistant management allowance shall be borne by the school. Sixth, in addition, you can also apply for various funded projects established by the school. Including scholarships, grants, subsidies for difficulties, food subsidies, interest-free loans on campus, tuition fee reduction and so on. It is established by institutions of higher learning with the aid funds extracted from business income and donations from social organizations, enterprises, institutions and individuals.
Tuition fees are compensated, loans can be compensated, and going to the grassroots and the army "does not suffer."
Q 10: What scholarships can students apply for during and after graduation?
A: During and after graduation, students can apply for tuition compensation and loan compensation policies through schools, which mainly refer to two types of graduates: first, graduates who are employed at the grassroots level. The state compensates the fresh graduates of full-time colleges and universities affiliated to the central government for working in grass-roots units in the central and western regions and hard and remote areas for more than three years, and implements corresponding tuition compensation and national student loan compensation. The maximum amount of tuition compensation or national student loan compensation for students after graduation each year is not more than 8000 yuan for undergraduates and 12000 yuan for postgraduates, and the compensation will be completed in three years. At present, referring to the practice of universities directly under the central government, some provinces implement the national student loan compensation policy for local college graduates. The second is the graduates who are enlisted in the army. The state shall compensate the college graduates who have been drafted into the army for compulsory military service for the tuition fees paid during their school days or the national student loans obtained when they joined the army. Undergraduate students do not exceed 8000 yuan per year, and graduate students do not exceed 12000 yuan per year.
