Abstract

With the continuous expansion of the enrollment scale of postgraduates and the conducting of the fee-charging policy in China, postgraduate education has entered a new stage of development. It is considered that the funding policies play an important role in helping postgraduates to finish the degree study. In this paper, the types of postgraduate funding and the challenges faced are reviewed, emphasizing the urgency to improve and update funding management systems within Chinese colleges and universities under new situation. Several countermeasures, including accurate funding establishment and performance evaluation, are proposed for the possible improvement.
