The student loan compensation policy is specifically aimed at full-time undergraduates, postgraduates and fresh graduates of the second bachelor's degree in colleges and universities. Voluntary work and service in grass-roots units below the county level in the central and western regions and hard and remote areas for a specified period of time (3 years) can obtain compensation funds for national student loans given by the state. Therefore, there is a compensation policy for student loans for public welfare posts.

Public welfare posts refer to posts developed by various employers and identified by human resources and social security departments for transitional resettlement of people with employment difficulties.
