VI. Assessment

After checking qualifications, HIT assesses through impartiality, openness, fairness and merit. Interviews may be required. Results are notified personally and posted on the school’s official website by July 15 each year. Recipients must formally acknowledge acceptance within the prescribed period or are deemed to have forfeited eligibility.

VII. Administration

Recipients must register on time. Late arrival requires advance notice to the School of International Education, otherwise the scholarship is deemed forfeited.

Recipients must sign in at the school between the 10th and 15th each month. Missing sign-in stops that month’s payment without later reimbursement. Payments during leave or suspension of study are also stopped without later reimbursement.

Postgraduate recipients undergo annual review April 10-30. Passing allows continued funding the following year; failure cancels eligibility.

Scholarships are canceled and relevant rules applied for:

• Violating Chinese law or university rules.
• Unauthorized late registration, non-medical departure or unjustified absence exceeding two weeks.
• Failing 30% of a semester’s examined or assessed courses.
• Meeting conditions for repeating a year.
• Interrupting study for personal reasons after receiving the scholarship, treated as voluntary forfeiture.
