- CEIBS Dishuiquan Interest Subsidy
Launched in October 2015, the CEIBS Dishuiquan Talent Loan Programme is managed by the school in co-operation with various alumni companies. By combining financial instruments and internet technology, the Dishuiquan programme complements the school’s existing scholarship system. The name originates from an ancient Chinese saying about how modest sums of money can accumulate over time to become a powerful force, similar to tiny drops of water growing to form a large lake. The goal is to ensure that qualified students do not miss out on the opportunity to benefit from studying at CEIBS simply because they cannot afford the tuition.
Foreign applicants who are applying for the CEIBS Prodigy Finance Loan or other bank loans, may reduce the pressure of making interest payments while studying by first applying for the CEIBS Dishuiquan Interest Subsidy. Successful applicants will benefit from a needs-based interest subsidy in the form of a discount of up to 20,000 RMB on tuition fees.
