After careful review of the applications, the JI Graduate Students Committee announced that three outstanding students have already won the prestigious Covidien Presidential Scholarship (18,000 RMB a year) that was recently established to attract incoming graduate students. Ten more scholarships will be awarded at the end of the summer camp.
