Not high at all, as it should be!

When it comes to doctoral scholarships, many PhD students think that the scholarships awarded by schools today are a bit small.

Nationally, the last increase in financial aid was five years ago.

In 2017, doctoral student stipends for ministry-affiliated universities across the country increased from 12,000 yuan to 15,000 yuan, and for local universities from 10,000 yuan to 13,000 yuan, which equals about 1,000 yuan per month.

This standard is indeed not high. Many PhD students can only rely on family support and part-time jobs to complete their studies.

Many universities, including Peking University, are also aware of this problem and have improved their doctoral subsidy standards.

Many universities have significantly increased doctoral subsidy. How much has Peking University increased?

Qingta talents have found the doctoral candidate position system announced by Peking University Law School, in which the scholarship standard for the President’s Scholarship reaches 70,000 yuan per person per year.

For more conventional teaching assistant and ideological and political positions, Peking University’s funding standards are not low either, reaching 55,000/post/year.

Different from direct payment of money, Peking University's scholarships and bursaries need to perform corresponding responsibilities. For example, if a research assistant position is set up at Peking University Law School, you need to work no less than 4 hours a week. The post-study scholarship can be 34,000 yuan per year higher than the national scholarship.

.

In recent years, many universities have directly chosen to raise their minimum funding standards. For example, South China University of Technology clearly stated in its doctoral admissions brochure that the minimum funding standard for doctoral students is 58,200 yuan/year (based on the national regulation of 15,000 yuan/year).

(increased by 43,200 yuan), amortized to nearly 5,000 yuan per month.

And 5,000 yuan can completely cover daily expenses in Guangzhou, which also means that doctoral students from South China University of Technology hardly have to worry about life.

In addition, the basic scholarship and stipend amount for doctoral students of Harbin Institute of Technology's 2021 doctoral engineering fund and scientific research fund is 50,000 yuan per year.

Some universities in the central region have also raised PhD subsidies to more than 6,000 yuan per month.

The gap is not only reflected between schools, but also between liberal arts and sciences.

In line with the salary packages in the current job market, there is a certain gap between PhDs in liberal arts and science and engineering in terms of scholarships.

Taking Nanjing University as an example, the minimum research assistantship fee for a doctorate in science, engineering, agriculture, and medicine is 900 yuan higher than that for a doctorate in basic liberal arts.

Launching the "Scholar Program" for PhD students is undoubtedly a new attempt.

It is foreseeable that, with Peking University taking the lead, more universities will follow suit and improve in the future.

However, at present, compared with the "Scholar Program", whether the subsidy can be increased may still be a question that more doctors are concerned about.

After all, it seems that money should not be an obstacle to their scientific research.
