14/7/2003 14:41
The China Merchants Bank cooperated with the British embassy to offer a new
financing package yesterday to aid Chinese people who plan to study in the
United Kingdom, the Beijing Youth Post reported today. A consulting fair was
held at the ground floor of China Merchants Bank's Beijing branch yesterday,
attracting nearly 100 Beijing residents, with the one-hour fair extended to
nearly three hours. How to apply for scholarship, the cost to study in UK and
what the age limits to study in UK have become the focus of the consultation in
the fair. The financing package includes foreign currency exchange &
settlement, personal study loans, study guarantee and deposit certification,
according to the bank. Students can apply for loans of up to 100 percent of
the total overseas study costs for no longer than eight years, and should get
admission notices or acceptance letters from British schools and offer guaranty
and the certification materials from guarantors, the bank indicated.
