Chapter 386: National Scholarship

Back to Handancai No.216, Xu Qiu received an email from the counselor about the scholarship evaluation and application.
Every year, Mordu University's scholarships are declared at the end of September, and selected and announced at the beginning of October.
For graduate freshmen, the freshman award students have been arranged directly according to the type of student source.
Xu Qiu glanced at his freshman scholarship level, and then found out that he was the second prize for freshmen, and the first prize was given to several consecutive graduate and doctoral students of the school.
However, Xu Qiu intends to apply for a national scholarship. The first and second prizes of this freshman are not important to him. Anyway, he can only get one at most, and cannot be stacked.
This system is aptly called to give more students opportunities, but it is actually forcing equal wealth.
Of course, from the school's point of view, this is justified.
After all, the total amount of scholarships is limited, and students who want to reach 100% coverage can only average.
Otherwise, a person on the head won both the national award and the naming, and then brought another award, the money will be taken away by him, and one person monopolizes the 5W scholarship, and the others will not score.
There are four types of scholarships, national scholarship, national inspirational scholarship, general academic scholarship, and title scholarship.
The National Inspirational Scholarship is issued to poor students, and the amount is lower than the national award. For undergraduates, the national award is 8,000, and the inspirational scholarship is 5,000. In fact, it means a little aid in education. Only poor students can apply and it is easier to get .
Among the other three types of scholarships, national scholarships are quite special. They are two sets of standards as ordinary academic scholarships and title scholarships. The former need to fill in the application materials by themselves, and the latter two are directly ranked according to the scholarship score. The higher the ranking, the higher the amount of money.
According to Wu Feifei, who has participated in the evaluation, the national award mainly examines academic achievements, as well as on-site defense ability. If the ratio of the two is the ratio, it is about September 1st and 8th.
The number of national awards for master's and doctoral students in the Department of Materials is about 10 each year. It is a mix of master's and doctoral students in all grades, so the larger the grade, the greater the advantage.
There is a difference in the defense. Generally, the number of people who enter is 1.5-3 times the total number of places. It depends on the situation of students each year. If there are more big guys, more people will enter, but the number of awards is fixed.
The defense is mainly used to distinguish those who are reluctant to enter the defense, so that good performance on the spot will be awarded. Of course, there is no inside story.
When applying, anyway, as long as you feel you can do it, you can go. However, in order not to add trouble to the counselor, the general second and third graduate students will first participate in the ordinary scholarship.
Then, after the selection results are out, students who meet the first-class academic scholarship standards will usually apply for the National Award. In the end, the department and counselor will be screened to confirm the national award defense list.
If you take a third prize to participate in the National Award, there is a high probability that you will not be able to enter the National Award defense. The counselor and the department will have to review it for you, which is too much trouble.
If you are a new student, you can only estimate it yourself because there is no reference.
The lower limit standard for the general freshmen to be selected for the National Award defense is the one with the worst academic achievement among the students selected for the National Award defense in other grades.
Other freshmen may still wonder whether they are qualified enough to apply for the National Award, which is nothing to Xu Qiu.
For his academic achievements, let alone the lower limit, the upper limit has been blown to you.
Therefore, Xu Qiu directly downloaded the National Award application form and started to fill it out.
The application form for the national scholarship is very simple and rude, with some basic information such as name and student number on the top, and a large column below it is required to fill in the academic results according to the format.
Academic achievements, or essays, must be from the first unit at Mordu Comprehensive University, which means that the work of foreign students and postgraduates in the original school is not counted.
As far as Xu Qiu is concerned, it is enough to eliminate articles written by Mo Wenlin.
Xu Qiu took a careful inventory of his own work, and then found out that there were a total of 16 of his second essays this year! There are 9 articles in one article!
There are also several articles that are ranked second in the same work, and counted according to the second.
Just look at one article, there are a total of 5 articles in SCI, including two in AM, one in NC, one in Angew, and one in AEM. Not only are they all in the first district, but they are also the top journals in the first district;
There are also 3 SCI second districts, including two ACSAMI and one for large molecules;
Finally, there is a new issue of ACSEL that has not been published in the district. If ACSEL is out of the district at the end of the year, it will definitely be the first district of SCI, but the school’s regulations are dead. As long as there is no district, it will be counted as four districts. So now ACSEL It can only be counted as SCI four districts.
In addition, there is an AM and an "Nature·Energy" under the investment. Of course, these cannot be counted as the results of this year.
Statistical work is really troublesome, but Xu Qiu is quite proud of the academic achievements that can't be written on one page of the application form.
After sending the application documents to the counselor Bao Wei, Xu Qiu looked at the other friends in the research group, and they were all busy applying for scholarships.
Chen Wanqing saw Xu Qiuchao leaning over her computer screen and said with a smile: "Xu Qiu, you are not from Bo San, it is great."
Duan Yun echoed: "Yes, yeah."
Xu Qiu was taken aback: "Senior Sister, Brother Duan Yun, what are you talking about, why can't I understand?"
Wu Feifei also added: "Fortunately, you are not a Boer, otherwise..."
Xu Qiu was even more confused: "Do you dare to speak, don't just say half of it."
Chen Wanqing did not explain, but sent him a WORD document: "You will understand by looking at our award rules."
Xu Qiu returned to his seat, received the senior sister's documents, and asked Feifei Wu for a copy of the rules for the award of the second degree, and began to study.
The rules for awarding graduate students are generally similar, but they are quite different from those for undergraduates.
Regardless of the detailed rules of Fei Wu and Feibo, or the rules of Chen Wanqing and Duan Yunbo, there are three indicators in general, including grade points, scientific research papers, and ethics, but the emphasis is different in different grades.
Ph.D. 2 pays more attention to grade points, because the second grade is actually the work during Ph. 1 evaluation, so the proportions of the three are 40%, 30% and 30% respectively.
Doctoral degree 3 pays more attention to scientific research papers, and reviews the work during Doctoral degree 2. The proportions of the three are 20%, 50% and 30% respectively.
As for the work during Ph. 3, I don’t participate in the awards, because if I don’t postpone it, I will have graduated by the time of Ph. 4, and I will not be in school anymore. Naturally, there will be no scholarship.
Therefore, some research groups will play routines. Students do not sign their names for work during Ph. 3, but give articles to newly enrolled Ph. 1 students.
In this way, when new students enroll in school, they inherit a few high-quality articles and can directly win the national award. Even if they fail to win the national award, it is very easy to win a title award.
Wait until this freshman's Ph.D. 3, and then pass on the article, which forms a perfect cycle.
In this regard, Professor Wang Shaoxian said: "Improper signature, academic misconduct!"
Xu Qiu tried to simulate the scores in accordance with the detailed rules of the senior sister Bosan.
The first piece, grade points.
This is easy to calculate, the full score is 4.0, then it can be converted to a 20-point system by multiplying it directly by 5.
This part seems to have 20 points, but in fact, the gap cannot be widened at all. Because they are all doctoral students, the grade point will basically not fall below 3.0, and there are very few who can get 3.6 points or more, so everyone is on this item. The actual score is basically 15-18 points, and the difference is equivalent to only 3 points.
The second piece is ethics.
This is a percentile system, and then multiply by 0.3 to convert to 30 points.
Xu Qiu found that there are many sub-questions here, such as:
The graduate tutor scores 30 points for excellent, 20 points for good, 10 points for passing, 0 points for poor;
The counselor scores a full score of 20;
The graduate teaching secretary scores a full score of 10, which mainly examines whether students submit the opening report, mid-term evaluation and other graduate training materials on time.
These three items account for 60 points out of 100 points, and basically everyone can get 50 points or more.
First of all, 99% of the tutor's scores are excellent. Generally, there is no tutor who cheats the students.
Secondly, the 10 points of the postgraduate teaching secretary are also given away for nothing. Submit the materials on time, which is not too difficult to do.
Finally, the instructor will give a score, although there will be a difference in score, but usually at least pass it, and then according to the normal distribution, ranging from 12 to 20 points, class committees and other scores may be higher, this is the same as the instructor’s The situation is similar. Basically, you will not score too low. If you only give a few points, it is equivalent to tearing your face, and how you will meet in the future.
With the remaining 40 points, most people can't get it, so the gap cannot be opened.
For example, positions such as class committee, league and student union cadres, student union cadres, etc. will each add five points, up to a maximum of 10 points;
Participating in various campus cultural activities and spiritual civilization construction of the school, and winning school-level or above honors, each item gets a maximum of 5 points, and the upper limit is 10 points;
Actively participate in the submission of information work. If the submitted manuscript is accepted by the school or the relevant department of the school, 2 points will be added for each accepted article, and the cumulative number will not exceed 10 points.
Actively participate in voluntary blood donors ~EbookFREE.me~ points.
Graduate students of science and engineering are busy doing scientific research. If there is time to contribute to spiritual civilization and information work, maybe liberal arts graduate students are so idle.
Voluntary blood donation is not everyone's willingness. This thing is said to be very harmful, but no one knows what the actual situation is.
Xu Qiu went to donate once, and also got a blood donation certificate.
Hmm... In fact, the main purpose is to check the blood type. The blood type on the hukou has always been "unknown", which looks strangely uncomfortable.
After this calculation, most people's moral character is around 60 points. Converted to a 30-point system, it is a minimum of 18 points. No matter how large the difference is, it is generally within 10 points.
Moreover, this item can get high scores, basically it will not be dominant in scientific research work, because people's energy is limited, you can't expect a person to be able to take on all kinds of student work, but also It is almost impossible to do scientific research well.
