ASEEDER Scholarships are not paid in cash. They can only be used to offset ASEEDER program fees.

ASEEDER Scholarships are valid for one and a half years (18 months).

Each scholarship level offers different amounts for different program categories. The sum of the standard amounts across all categories equals the cumulative total. ASEEDER scholarships cannot be used across categories.

For example, if students are awarded the ASEEDER Grand Prize Scholarship, they can deduct 3,000 RMB when participating in an EPQ program; deduct 1,500 RMB when participating in any one program at Imperial College London, Oxford, UC Berkeley, Talented Program, or Overseas Academic Study; deduct 800 RMB when participating in any one program of Summer/Winter School series (Domestic/online/Asia), Major Achiever, XLAB, or OXBRIDGE & IC Mock Interview; deduct 600 RMB when participating in any one program of ASEEDER Global Exploration Time or Academic Camp; deduct 300 RMB when participating in ASEEDER Research Paper Publication. The cumulative total is 12,200 RMB. However, the full 12,200 RMB cannot be applied to a single program. It can only be used by category and cannot be used across categories (e.g., using the 3,000 RMB from the EPQ category for a volunteer program).

No, it cannot be reused. One scholarship can only be used in one category and only once.

For example, if a student receives the Grand Prize Scholarship only once and uses the 1,500 RMB on an Imperial College London program, this scholarship cannot be used again. This scholarship cannot be used again for another program in the same category, such as the Oxford PPE program.

If students receive different levels of ASEEDER Scholarships, they can use their scholarships to participate in different programs within one category, but the scholarships cannot be stacked for a single program.

For example, if a student wins the Champion Award in the ABS Global Championship and a global silver medal in BPhO, he will receive the Grand Prize Scholarship (1,500 RMB) and the First Prize Scholarship (1,200 RMB), respectively. They can use the Grand Prize Scholarship (1,500 RMB) for an Imperial College London program (Summer/Winter Schools category) and the First Prize Scholarship (1,200 RMB) for an Oxford PPE program (also Summer/Winter Schools category). The same applies to other categories. This is considered reuse. However, they cannot stack the 1,500 RMB Grand Prize Scholarship and the 1,200 RMB First Prize Scholarship for the same Imperial College London program.

If a student has previously registered for and participated in Program A and then receives the scholarship, he cannot apply for a scholarship refund for Program A. If a student has registered and paid for Program B but has not yet participated, he can apply for a scholarship refund before Program B begins. The EPQ program is an exception (scholarship refunds can be applied for at any time during high school).

For example, if a student registered for and participated in a Global Exploration Time program in the fall semester and then received the Grand Prize Scholarship at the start of the spring semester (which can deduct 600 RMB for Global Exploration Time programs), he cannot apply for a refund for this already completed program. If the student registers for a program that will happen during summer vacation, completes payment, and receives the Grand Prize Scholarship before the program begins (which can deduct 600 RMB for Global Exploration Time programs), he can apply for a 600 RMB scholarship refund.

During the three years of high school, if a student has already registered for an ASEEDER research program (including EPQ, Lumiere) and later receives the Research Program Scholarship, they can apply for a tuition refund (equivalent to the scholarship amount) after the program. Moreover, if a student has already applied for a scholarship refund and later receives a higher-level Scholarship, he can continue to apply for another refund based on the higher scholarship standard.

For example, if a student has registered for the EPQ program and later receives the Second Prize Scholarship, he can apply for a 1,000 RMB refund. If he later receives the Grand Prize Scholarship, he can apply for a refund of 2,000 RMB based on the 3,000 RMB standard (plus the previous 1,000 RMB refund, totaling 3,000 RMB).

After withdrawal, the scholarship will be returned to the student's account and can be used toward a future program. The refund will be processed based on the actual amount paid and the program's refund policy.

One week after winning an award in a designated program, students can log in to the ASEEDER mini-program and go to the ASEEDER Scholarship page to claim scholarships. They can check all claimed scholarship details and usage status on the "My ASEEDER Scholarship" page in the ASEEDER mini-program.
