Someone in the education department called and said that they could help me go to school. Is that true?

Provide funding? Fake! I received a phone call from a self-proclaimed staff member of the education department, saying that there was a financial aid for poor students, and the money had been transferred to the bank, asking you to go to the bank to transfer money through ATM. In the process of transferring money, you cheat money on the grounds of paying relevant fees.

Deception means

Pretending to be the staff of civil affairs, education bureau and other units, calling and sending text messages to the victims, falsely claiming that they can receive grants, asking them to provide bank card numbers, and then instructing them to operate and transfer money on ATM machines on the grounds of inquiring about accounts.

Correct approach

If you are a student with financial difficulties, don't worry. At present, China has established a perfect student financial aid policy system, which can solve all your problems from enrollment to completion of your studies. Tuition and accommodation fees are paid by the national student loan policy. After you get the university admission notice, you can apply to the local student financial assistance management institution for a student-origin credit loan to pay tuition and accommodation fees, and the interest during your stay at school will be paid to the bank by the state on your behalf.

Don't worry if you have difficulties in living expenses. You can apply for different funding methods according to your own situation, such as applying for national inspirational scholarships, state grants, work-study programs, etc. In addition, colleges and universities all over the country have opened "green channels" for freshmen, and students with financial difficulties can go through the admission procedures through the "green channels" even if their tuition fees are not raised. Freshmen with particularly poor family finances in the central and western regions can also apply to the local education department for funding projects for freshmen's enrollment, which can be used for travel expenses and short-term living expenses before enrollment.

If you have any questions in the process, students and parents can also inquire about the national student financial aid policy and relevant regulations in official website (see below), or call the hotline of the National Student Financial Aid Management Center at 0/kloc-0-66097980 and 66096590 for consultation.
