The national award is the highest honor scholarship that college students can get. The evaluation of national awards is standardized and the standards are strict. Only 0.2% of the more than 2,000 colleges and universities in China can win this honor. Every college student who has won this honor is an excellent student with excellent academic performance, which can be said to be the focus of national attention and training. In addition to the gold coat, it costs 8,000 yuan per person per year, 20,000 yuan for master students and 30,000 yuan for doctoral students, which is beneficial to future research, examination and employment.
In contrast, the gold content of the top ten college students is not so high. After all, the top ten students were all elected by vote. The selection criteria are all-round development of morality, intelligence, physique and beauty, and outstanding performance in ideological and moral character, academic research, scientific and technological innovation, social practice, voluntary service and social work, and exemplary practice of socialist core values.
