Australia's University of Newcastle (UON) announced the establishment of a scholarship program supported by China's Jack Ma Foundation.

近日，澳大利亞紐卡斯爾大學宣佈設立由中國馬雲基金會資助的獎學金項目。

Jack Ma Foundation will give US$20 million (AU$26.4 million) to fund a first of its kind scholarship program at UON, marking the largest philanthropic commitment in UON's history, and the Jack Ma Foundation's first philanthropic contribution in Australia.

馬雲基金會將提供2000萬美元（摺合2640萬澳元）資助澳大利亞紐卡斯爾大學的首個此類獎學金計劃，這是紐卡斯爾大學歷史上獲得的最高額慈善承諾，也是馬雲基金會在澳大利亞的首個慈善捐助。

Ma was joined by New South Wales (NSW) Premier Gladys Berejiklian MP, UON Chancellor Paul Jeans and others to announce the scholarship program in Newcastle.

馬雲和新南威爾士州州長格拉迪斯·貝瑞吉克蓮，紐卡斯爾大學校長保羅·吉恩斯及其他人一道宣佈了該獎學金計劃。

In its initial year, The Ma & Morley Scholarship Program will support 30 scholarships, 20 scholarships to support students throughout the duration of their degree, and 10 one-off scholarships to support educational exchange, internship or immersion activities.

在項目開始的第一年，Ma & Morley獎學金項目將提供30個獎學金名額，其中20個獎學金名額將會支付獲獎者在攻讀學位過程中的所有學費，剩餘10個名額的獲得者將得到一次性獎學金，將資助學生參與教育交流、實習或海外體驗計劃。

When the program reaches full capacity, it will support 90 students per year.

當獎學金項目進入全面運作階段後，每年資助的學生人數將達到90名。

UON Vice-Chancellor, Professor Caroline McMillen, said The Ma & Morley Scholarship Program at UON would have a transformational impact on the lives of students and shape the next generation of leaders.

紐卡斯爾大學副校長、教授卡洛琳·麥克米倫表示，Ma & Morley獎學金計劃將對學生的生活和下一代領袖塑造產生變革性的影響。

"Through this remarkable friendship spanning decades, a new generation of talented students will have the opportunity to reach their full personal and professional potential," Professor McMillen said.

麥克米倫教授說道：“通過這段跨越了幾十年風雨的偉大友誼，新一代的才俊將擁有達到個人和職業潛能極限的機會。”
