Grant Description

In 2000, CNPC AktobeMunaiGas (CNPC AMG), a Kazakhstan-based subsidiary of China National Petroleum Corporation, set aside $1 million USD for a special education fund to support young Kazakhstani experts, excellent students, and talented students from poor families. The funds were provided under a memorandum of economic cooperation between CNPC and the Akimat of Aktobe region.

The education of 50 Kazakhstani students at China University of Petroleum - Beijing were covered under the funds from this fund, as were the education of another 11 students at Kazakhstani and Russian universities.

📋 Staff Comments

Project status was coded as 'Completion' because it is evident that the funds were totally disbursed to the fund. AidData has assumed that 'set aside' meant donated/granted; the language implies that this money went towards a scholarship fund, meaning that it was not a scholarship itself. Therefore, the flow type was coded as 'Grant.' 'Year uncertain' was checked because it is not confirmed that this donation was committed to in 2000.
