Mongolian Project Name: “Тэргүүлэгч од” 2. The Transaction Amount is calculated as RMB 77,000 by multiplying 1 student by RMB 6,000 + 7 students multiplied by RMB 5,000 + 12 students multiplied by RMB 3,000. However, the scholarship amounts are before tax.
The Bank of China is a stand-in for Bank of China Representative Office in Ulaanbaatar.
There was a discrepancy on the China-Mongolia CSEDF website about how many students received the scholarships. It said 12 total, but then went on to say there was one 1st place student, seven 2nd place students, and 12 3rd place students = 20 students. 20 students were documented in this project because a round number makes more sense and is in line with other China-Mongolia CSEDF scholarships.
