Student Development

Abiding by the philosophy of “Internationalization, Interdisciplinary, Innovation, and Quality”, the University of Michigan-Shanghai Jiao Tong University Joint Institute (JI) is aimed to build a world-class educational and research institute in China and foster future innovative researchers and leaders with a global perspective.

Supporting scholarships is one of the most powerful and meaningful ways that benefactors can help JI to make a difference of development in lives of countless best students in China.

Ways of Support：

1. Named Scholarship Fund

Donors can choose to name an expendable scholarship or endowed scholarship and make a gift at the appropriate level:

Expendable Scholarship requires a minimum gift of 50K RMB per year with three consecutive years of agreement.
Endowed Scholarship requires a minimum gift of 1 million RMB. To keep the endowment existing in perpetuity, a portion of the income will be utilized annually to provide scholarship awards to selected students.

The named scholarships are managed and implemented by JI Scholarship Committee to ensure the reasonable usage. The endowments are invested and supervised by Shanghai Jiao Tong University Education Development Foundation (SJTUEDF) to reserve the value and keep the stability of support.

2. Student Development Scholarship Fund
Student Development Scholarship is created with the intent that all of the funds donated to the JI Development Fund will be distributed over the course of time to support the student development in social practice and public service etc. Student Development Scholarship is a good option for donors to start with very smaller initial gifts (200RMB and above) and make additional gifts at any time.
