Historical Investigation and Modem Inspirations from the Scholarship and Grant System of Academy in the Qing Dynasty
In the Qing Dynasty,following the traditional concept of"treating teaching and nursing separately and emphasizing mutual assistance between the two",relatively perfect and universally-implemented scholarship and grant systems were established in most academies in order to help alleviate the financial difficulties confronted by students to sustain their livelihood,such as caring for families,progressing through the path of learning,and continuing research.The grants were generally divided into Gaohuo and Binxing,whereas the scholarships into Kaoke Huahong and Zhongshi Huahong.However,due to the differentiated payment of scholarships and grants to students,student misconducts were common in scholarship and grant applications.The academies in the Qing Dynasty solved these problems by considering the beneficiaries'academic and moral performance and making flexible adjustments to the scholarship and grant system.This means of resolution has offered valuable inspirations to the improvement of the scholarship and grant system adopted by contemporary Chinese colleges and universities,to maximizing the effectiveness of the student support function,and to the correction of beneficiaries'misconducts.
