Jimu News reporter Shu Longhuan
In mid-December, the countdown to the 2023 postgraduate entrance examination has begun, and the postgraduate students are going all out to sprint. In the past few days, the news that Jilin University has quietly paid money for thousands of poor students who are going to graduate school has also sparked heated discussions. On December 16, a graduate student of the school told a Jimu News reporter that the price of the hotel was about to start, and the 500 yuan subsidy issued by the school could just solve the accommodation and transportation expenses during the exam. The school said that a total of nearly 800,000 yuan of postgraduate entrance examination subsidies have been issued to graduate students with financial difficulties.

Jida quietly paid money for thousands of poor students who were admitted to graduate school
Recently, a student from Jilin University posted a subsidy text message sent by the school, which made netizens call it "heartwarming".
On December 16, a screenshot of a text message provided by a student at Jilin University to a Jimu News reporter showed, "Hello classmates, the school understands that you are working hard for your dreams and working hard for the graduate school entrance examination. In order to ensure that you can eat reasonably and take the postgraduate examination with peace of mind, the school has put the postgraduate examination subsidy into your student card, we will fully protect your personal privacy, please pay attention to timely nutrition supplementation, and study Xi with peace of mind. There will be a time when the wind and waves will be long, and the clouds will sail into the sea, and I wish you the title of the gold list, and become a 'master'. ”
Wang Tao (pseudonym), a graduate student at the school, is one of the recipients of the grant. He told the Jimu News reporter that on the 14th, he was resuming Xi from his Xi room, and suddenly received a text message that the school had put 500 yuan into his bank card, and that poor graduate students had received 1,000 yuan.
In just a few words, it hides the deepest "love". Wang Tao said that in addition to receiving 500 yuan, the words of encouragement in the text message made him feel warm, "The school is to let us students with difficult families feel at ease to take the postgraduate examination, and I am especially grateful to the school." ”
Wang Tao believes that for students with difficult families, this money is a "charcoal in the snow". Because the hotel price will increase during the postgraduate entrance examination, this money can subsidize accommodation and transportation expenses.
Wang Tao said that after admission, some students will apply to the school for the identification of difficult students, and after the school's investigation and verification, students who meet the standards will be identified as key economic observation objects and general economic observation objects, "I belong to the general economic observation object, and I will receive some subsidies in November and December every year, and I have also received a meal allowance from the school quietly." ”

A total of nearly 800,000 yuan has been distributed to students with family difficulties
The staff of the Student Financial Assistance Center of Jilin University previously told the media that the school has issued postgraduate subsidies to more than 1,000 postgraduate students in accordance with the standard of 1,000 yuan for key economic observation objects and 500 yuan for general economic observation objects, "so that our students are not lonely on the road to pursue their dreams, and the school will always be their strongest backing." ”
Jimu News reporter learned from the relevant departments of Jilin University that a total of nearly 800,000 yuan of postgraduate subsidies have been issued to graduate students with family financial difficulties. In addition, the school also customized a love Xi gift box engraved with "Jiren World, Gold List Title" for each of the more than 1,000 graduate students with financial difficulties, helping students leap into the dragon gate and become masters in one battle.
In addition, this year, the relevant departments of the school continued to carry out the work of implicit subsidy for meals, through the collection of the consumption trajectory and total consumption amount of the card for students with financial difficulties from September to November, in accordance with the principle of subsidy ranging from 100 yuan to 500 yuan, subsidizing students with financial difficulties at different levels and stages, with a total of more than 240,000 yuan and more than 1,100 students. The meal subsidy is directly credited to the student's card, and the student is reminded to check and pay attention to reasonable diet, supplement nutrition, and study Xi with peace of mind through text messages. The whole process fully protects the personal privacy of students, and silently conveys love and warmth to students.
Suits are given to graduates in need for job interviews
The Jimu News reporter noticed that in fact, the school's invisible "favor" for students is not just the issuance of hardship subsidies.
Xu Xiao (pseudonym), a student at the school, also successfully applied to participate in the school's "Send a Ticket to Return Home" activity. He said that during the previous holiday, he was far home from Changchun, and after participating in the event, the school helped him reimburse more than 200 yuan for the train ticket.

Wang Tao said that according to his understanding, in addition to more than 1,000 poor graduate students receiving subsidies, the school also gave suits to graduates with financial difficulties for graduation job interviews.
According to the school's official news, through the preliminary investigation, the school customized 300 sets of "Jiren suits" for graduates from families with financial difficulties who have job search needs, so that students can be more confident, more tense and more confident in the interview, improve the interviewer's "first impression" of students, and help students take the lead in job hunting and win in the details. ”
In addition, in order to ensure that undergraduate students with financial difficulties can return to their hometowns smoothly and avoid situations such as being unable to return to their hometowns due to inability to afford the cost of purchasing tickets, the university continues to carry out the activity of "giving a return ticket". In line with the principle of "all help should be helped, all should be enjoyed", nearly 1.1 million yuan was invested to give the maximum subsidy to students' round-trip transportation expenses, reduce the psychological burden of students due to expensive travel expenses, and help students return to their hometowns.
Some colleges and universities insisted on secretly recharging the meal cards of poor students for 8 years
The Jimu News reporter noticed that not long ago, the "heart-warming meal card" of Nanjing University of Science and Technology rushed to the hot search. Behind the hot search, the school secretly charged the poor students' meal cards with money and insisted on it for 8 years.
According to Guangming.com, in 2016, the Education Development Foundation of Nanjing University of Science and Technology planned to initiate and organize the implementation of the "Warm Heart Meal Card" project. In the past eight years, the total number of subsidized students has reached 26,515. The "Warm Heart Meal Card" project uses big data technology to realize the effective screening of data, and at the same time gives full play to the function of counselors, realizes the effective supplement of the information of the recipients and the accurate identification of the funding objects, and quietly sends the "warm heart" to the students without applying.

As of October 31, 2023, a total of 5,658 people have made donations, and the amount of love received has reached 5,782,613.63 yuan, of which the highest single amount is 1 million yuan, and the largest number of donations is an alumnus surnamed You, with a total of more than 1,800 donations and more than 100,000 yuan donated.
There are many similar acts of kindness. More than 10 years ago, Xiamen University began providing free rice to full-time students, and later provided free mineral water and toilet paper. In 2022, the Xiamen University Shenzhen Alumni Association proposed to set up a project for his alma mater's "Free White Rice and Mineral Water for Students" project. It is estimated that if you want to "contract" the rice and mineral water of 40,000 students of Xiamen University for a year, you will have to pay 6.66 million yuan a year.
