SE Asians taking full advantage of scholarship

After launching a scholarship for students from the Lancang-Mekong countries in 2018, Yunnan Minzu University has admitted 109 foreign students from Southeast Asia.

The Lancang-Mekong International Vocational Institute of Yunnan Minzu University has been educating students from Lancang-Mekong countries since 2017. The vocational college now has 546 students.
