All kinds of monomial scholarships(add 1 point). Special-class award of national science competition (add 5 points), the first prize (add 3 points), the second prize (add 2 points), the third prize (add 1 point). The published papers and patents in two years, according to the rank (per paper or item): Add 3, 2, 1 points respectively (SCI or invention patent authorization, limit to the first, second, third authors), Add 2, 1, 0.5 points (EI, limit to the first, second, third authors) and add 1, 0.5 points (core journals or utility model patent authorization, limit to the first, second authors). Papers and patents are not limited to award exception of other rewards which are only pointed twice. Awards are chosen by themselves when filling the form.

Second selection based on the first year of study, the academic research situation and the comprehensive performance (evaluation by supervisor, graduate instructors and students), of which academic record is 85% (average scores in all the subjects×85%), and 15% is for ideological and moral quality comprehensive performance (total score is 15 points) in the first year. According to the authors, each authorized patent for invention and SCI paper contribute 0.5 and 3.1 point, respectively (The patent belong to one person who assigned by supervisor). Each EI paper contribute 1.5 and 0.5 points respectively according to the name order; Core journal or authorized patent for utility models contribute 1 point (First author in core journal, patent belong to one person who assigned by supervisor); The papers published of non-first author are rewarded less than twice. The person, who won a prize and had an impact on society and scientific research, will be selected first (decided by the prize committee)

There are only twice awards if the first author does not belong to the paper (or patent). Those students who have an access to important academic significance and social impact in their research filed will be given a priority selection (decided by the Awarding Committee).

(5)There are twice PhD Awards scholarship selections in four years.The first selection is before attending school, and the other one is selected after the end of the second year.

The first selection based primarily on the entrance academic achievement and examination (test and retest), 30% selection depends on academic record in the stage of master study (subjects average score ×30%), 60% for while entrance first test accounts (60 points), 10% for retest (including interviews) scores accounts(10 points).

In the two years, if the student publish paper as the first author (signedname must be Materials Science and Engineering, Southwest Jiaotong University, or Ministry Of Education Key Laboratory of Advanced Technology Materials Science and Engineering)in SCI searching,3 points per papers will be added,and papers published in EI will add 1 point per article. If article IF more than 3.0,the total scores add 5 points per article while the IF equals from 2.0 to 2.999, 2 points added per article. If the paper is cited by SCI, 1 point per article is added in one time. When obtaining the invention patents in the previous year,3 points will be added (a reward staff designated by the instructor). The score of scientific and technological achievements: if someone win a national award, first and second prizeare added 60 points and 40 points respectively.Provincial achievement awards: top-grade, first, second and third prizeare added 30 points, 20 points, 10 points and 5 points respectively.

l  Cited and searching: retrieval and reference report.
