The Tibet Autonomous Region Federation Trade Union established the "Autumn Assistance Grant" program and has continued it for 14 years. During this period, they successfully raised funds amounting to 15,687,500 RMB which have helped 6,121 needy students to achieve "university dreams." It has become an important brand name project in the endeavor to solve the difficulties of children trying to study that have worker as well as migrant worker family backgrounds.

Recently, the 2015 annual Autumn Assistance Grant program issued student aid totaling to 6,280,000 RMB, offering 190 children of poor worker families much needed funding, receiving wide praise from students and parents.

Solang Dezon, a freshman at the University of Tibet that received an assistance grant for 2,000 RMB. She explained that "The annual tuition of 4,800 RMB is no small pressure to our home. The financial support helps, greatly easing the economic burden at home, and importantly it also frees me from worrying too much about other daily costs of living. I feel I must study hard, so that in return, I can provide back outstanding results to society."

According to what was understood, the Autumn Assistance Grants activities began in 2002, funding needs are mainly identified through the Tibet Autonomous Region Federation Trade Union Assistance Work Management System which established archives of working families having difficulties, specifically targeting poor students wanting to achieve the dream of attending college. According to the difficulties of family income and the status of workers, assistance is allocated according to the following three categories: children of the general low income workers, children of marginally low income household and children of economically troubled rural migrant workers.

Liu Jianmin, the party secretary and executive vice president of the Tibet Autonomous Region Federation of Trade Union said that" In the future, we will further widen the financial channels to further enrich student lives and we shall transform the "Autumn Assistance Grant” into a real "sunshine project". We will strive to make it so that there is not a single child of an economically challenged family that is unable to realize their dream of studying due to reasons of money, and we will also strive to make it so that there will be no students that have to drop out after initially successfully entering due to family related economic challenges.”
