“Shohei Hino” Scholarship Subsidized Outstanding Students of XTU

On the morning of May 27, the award ceremony of “Shohei Hino” Scholarship kicked off at the Lecture Hall of Xiangtan University. Shohei Hino (a former student graduated in 1983 from XTU, president of the Alumni Association of Japan and president of Research Society of Mitsubishi in China), Hu Bo (a former student graduated in 1983 from XTU and founder of Somely Management & Consultation Co.Ltd), and Deputy Party Chief of Xiangtan University Li Bochao attended the award ceremony.

Predecessor of “Akiawa” Scholarship, “Shohei Hino” Scholarship is jointly established by Shohei Hino and Hu Bo in a bid to award the outstanding yet impoverished students.

Jiang Qiong from Business School and other 7 students won technological innovation award of 3,000 yuan, Wang Bo from Philosophy & History Culture School and other 59 students gained a 2,000-yuan grant. Nine academic research teams got excellent group award totaling 36,000 yuan.

Mr. Li spoke highly of the significant contributions made by the two above-mentioned alumni. He pointed out that an individual’s success was closely interrelated to the comprehensive quality. He hoped that students could make the best use of campus life, participate actively in social practice while learning professional knowledge well, and improve their comprehensive quality, thus to better repay the society in future.

Luo Danning made a speech as a representative award-winner. “I am encouraged by the aid from our alumni. I will try harder than before, and am determined to repay the society with excellent grades to pass on love and warm more people.”

After the award ceremony, Shohei Hino and Hu Bo exchanged ideas with students.

The ceremony was hosted by Student Work Center and undertaken by School of Foreign Languages.
