NYU Shanghai on Prestigious Baosteel Scholarship Committee

The Baosteel Education Foundation honored NYU Shanghai not once but twice this week. Leading the way, Qi Lu ’17 became the first NYU Shanghai student to earn the prestigious "Baosteel Excellent Student Award.” At the same ceremony, NYU Shanghai was appointed to the foundation’s select Scholarship Committee. 

The Baosteel Education Awards, sponsored by the state-owned company Baosteel Group, is one of China's most recognized awards. Every year, the Baosteel Education Foundation offers five awards, two of which are devoted to excellence in teaching. As of 2013, the foundation had honored 20,000 teachers and students from more than 100 colleges and universities, as well as the National Academy of Sciences, disbursing RMB 170 million since its founding 25 years ago. NYU Shanghai's Associate Vice Chancellor Hongxia Liu attended the awards reception.
