China's Myanmar-language professor Su Xiuyu has provided stipends for 27 poor and outstanding Myanmar students to pursue university education under the name of the Professor Su-Xiuyu Fund.

Su, who won one of the highest religious medals of commendation in honor of her excellent performances conferred by Myanmar President U Thein Sein, is a retired professor from Beijing Foreign Languages University.

The 27 students from nine regions and states just passed the matriculation examination and are to enroll in universities, while 15 more from another five regions and states are expected to receive the sponsorship once they are enlisted.
