Chen, a senior at a key university in East China, still feels a little strange when he recalls his first scholarship evaluation in his sophomore year. Chen's college has 1 national scholarship, 8 majors, and each major has 1 first-class scholarship. According to the provisions of the national scholarship, the first-class scholarship winner is eligible to apply for the national scholarship. At that time, Chen was the winner of the first-class scholarship in this major, and he encountered a thorny problem in competing for the national scholarship quota. "All eight of us meet the requirements of the national award' getting the first-class scholarship', but we are only sophomores, and no one has made outstanding achievements in social practice, innovation ability and comprehensive quality." Finally, eight people negotiated to separate the certificate from the bonus, eight people drew lots to decide who got the certificate, whose name was reported and publicized aboveboard, and the other seven people shared the bonus of 8,000 yuan equally. "Most people still want to get a certificate and see' character' and luck." Chen was lucky to get the certificate as he wished.
Unwritten rules such as the separation of awards and compensation have long been "open secrets" in schools. After winning the national scholarship, Chen was told by the college that the national scholarship should be re-evaluated in the second year, and even if it meets the conditions, it cannot be applied again. "The reason of the college is to let more students enjoy the opportunity to get scholarships. I can totally understand that it's the same person every year, and no one in my classmates is comfortable. However, if I meet the requirements, there is nothing in the regulations that I can't take next year. Why can't I get it twice? "
