A total of 165 high school students from Shajing Middle School received scholarships and gifts for their outstanding academic performances on Friday.

The scholarships amounted to a total worth of 580,000 yuan. Each scholarship was between 600 and 6,000 yuan, while the gifts included laptops and other study equipment, the school said.

“The main thing is not receiving the money, but winning the esteem of the school. I hope this is a platform to even greater success,” said Wang Jia, one of the students who won the scholarship.

The school gave out 280,000 yuan in scholarships last year

“We hope that this can set a good example to other students,” said Jin Ruxiang, principal of the school.
