Pao Yu-Kong and Pao Zhao-Long Scholarship for Chinese Students Studying Abroad (Traditional Chinese: 包玉剛包兆龍中國留學生獎學金; Simplified Chinese: 包玉刚包兆龙中国留学生奖学金; for short: 包氏獎學金/包氏奖学金), is a renowned Chinese university scholarship issued by Zhejiang University.
The scholarship was established by the Hong Kong–based worldwide shipping tycoon Sir Yue-Kong Pao who was also a Zhejiang native.[1] Pao's family also have continuously contributed to the scholarship. The scholarship is named after Sir Yue-Kong Pao and his father Pao Zhao-Long (Chinese: 包兆龍/包兆龙) who was also a successful businessman and banker.[citation needed]
The scholarship was first set in January 1983, based on the first donation of US$1 million by Pao. October 1985, Pao donated another million USD to enlarge the scholarship.[2]
The purpose of the scholarship is to support qualified Zhejiang University students to pursue their studies outside mainland China.[citation needed]
