China's Ministry of Education released new data on student financial assistance for 2025, revealing substantial growth in both the number of beneficiaries and funding levels. The ministry reported that the nation cumulatively provided aid to nearly 160 million student instances in 2025, representing an increase of over 5 percent compared to 2024 [1]. Total investment in student assistance programs exceeded 390 billion yuan, marking a growth of more than 14 percent year-over-year, with government fiscal funding accounting for approximately 240 billion yuan or 60 percent of the total [1].
The assistance programs span multiple educational stages and funding mechanisms. National student loans reached 127.7 billion yuan in disbursements, up 34 percent from the previous year and comprising roughly one-third of all aid funds [1]. At the preschool level, a one-year tuition exemption policy benefited over 14 million children in kindergarten settings [1]. In compulsory education, 18.77 million economically disadvantaged students received living allowances, while 27.58 million students participated in nutrition improvement programs [1].
Higher education support expanded significantly across multiple categories. The government awarded 210,000 national scholarships and 1.22 million national encouragement scholarships to undergraduate and vocational students [1]. Graduate-level assistance included 2.64 million recipients of academic scholarships, 12.71 million students receiving national grants, and 8.52 million students obtaining national student loans [1].
