This might be the most innovative scholarship in the world. A middle school in Wenling city, Zhejiang Province, used pork to award its students’ good work in their last semester.
On Friday, during the school’s opening ceremony, students lined up to accept pork packed in plastic bags. Those who won the first class scholarship were awarded with 2.5 kilograms of pork, while second class students received 1.5 kilogram.
The school said it is the third year that it has used pork as scholarship –it is aimed for the students’ family to share their achievements.
The creative move has won widespread support from Chinese social media users. Many praised the school for being considerate and thinking about the students’ family as well.
“This scholarship sounds earthy. I like it,” commented @Surprise_X on Weibo.
“The students’ family would proudly say, ‘My kid won this pork!’” @roverjia said.
“It’s good. I like the idea that the whole family can share my scholarship. When I was young, the scholarship was usually pencils and erasers, which were often too many for me to use,” @Rhea commented.
