Wynn will provide funding for 30 international postgraduate scholarships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Macau.- Casino operator Wynn<\/strong> and Macau University of Science and Technology (MUST)<\/strong> have launched a scholarship programme for international students pursuing specific master’s degrees. A memorandum of understanding (MOU) was signed at Wynn Palace<\/strong> on Tuesday (May 20). Linda Chen<\/strong>, president and executive director of Wynn Resorts (Macau), signed on behalf of Wynn, while Joseph Lee, MUST’s vice-chancellor and president, signed for the institution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The MOU will see Wynn provide funding for 30 international postgraduate scholarships at MUST each academic year, with each recipient receiving MOP50,000<\/strong> (\u20ac5,485) annually for two years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chen said: “This collaboration is not only an active response to the Macao SAR Government’s ‘1+4’ adequate economic diversification drive but also marks a strategic breakthrough in the in-depth industry-academia integration and the building of an ecosystem for cultivating new talent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“As President Xi Jinping indicated last December, Macao must continue to elevate local tertiary education to the international level, forge closer links with tertiary institutes in Portuguese-speaking countries and countries joining the Belt and Road Initiative, expand its international circle of friends, and introduce high-quality talent and develop into a hub of high-end professionals from all around the world,”<\/p>\n\n\n
