Shanghai-based Fudan University is to award scholarships to
foreign students beginning this year, the university announced on
Monday.
According to Yang Zengguo, deputy director of the university's
foreign students affairs office, all foreign undergraduate and
postgraduate students can apply for the scholarships.
The scholarships will be awarded based on the applicant's marks

Ten foreign postgraduates will be granted scholarships that
include free tuition.
