Legal basis: Interim Measures for Compensatory Funding of National Student Loans for College Graduates Article 2 If college graduates have worked in grass-roots units in the central and western regions and hard and remote areas for more than three years (including three years), their tuition fees shall be compensated by the state. If you get a national student loan during your study in school (including the national student loan in colleges and universities and the student-origin credit student loan, the same below), the compensated tuition fee will be used to repay the principal of the national student loan and the interest generated before it is fully repaid.
