Three Otago Polytechnic Scholarship winners will soon be on their way to Shanghai.

They'll be attending a 14 week exchange at the Shanghai University of International Business and Economics.

Suhail Toubat, Lee Ralph and Fredrika Robertson will study business, economics, and Chinese language and culture.

They're assisted by the Prime Minister's Scholarships for Asia, which seeks to strengthen educational and business ties and improve the international skills of the New Zealand workforce.
