The main purpose of this paper is to analyze the relationship between the multiple mixed financial aid systems and the academic development of college students in Chinese higher education. Under the assistance of National Student Financial Aid Center of China, this study used sample data from the questionnaire survey conducted among students in 11 colleges and universities, and used logistic regression analysis based on human capital theory and student development theory to investigate the effects of different forms of financial aid on students’ academic development in higher education. The main results of the study showed that, firstly, receiving National Scholarships, National Encouragement Scholarships, and National Student Loans were significantly and positively correlated with receiving excellent grades, but receiving National Grants and work-study positions were significantly and negatively correlated with receiving excellent grades. Secondly, receiving higher National Scholarships and work-study funding significantly increased students’ probability of receiving excellent grades, but receiving higher National Student Loans funding significantly decreased students’ probability of receiving excellent grades. Further analysis of the influence of different forms of financial support on students’ academic development revealed that receiving National Scholarships and National Encouragement Scholarships can significantly increase the probability of study exchanges between sponsored students, teachers, and classmates and of attending seminars; receiving higher National Scholarships and work-study positions can help sponsored students clarify their study goals and increase study exchanges with teachers and classmates. The results of this study showed that the students’ academic development is influenced by the National Scholarships and work-study positions. Based on the results of the empirical study, countermeasures and suggestions were proposed in terms of precise financial aid systems, allocation of financial aid resources, and work-study positions, so as to improve the impact of higher education mixed financial aid systems on college students’ academic development in China.

Achieving carbon neutrality is a major strategy to combat climate change and achieve sustainable development. Training engineering undergraduates with sustainable development literacy is an important way to achieve this goal in the field of higher education. Based on the college impact model, this research surveyed 1070 engineering undergraduates in Chinese universities to explore the influence of institutional support on undergraduates’ sustainable development literacy, and the empirical analysis was conducted using Structural Equation Modeling. The results showed that institutional support positively and significantly influenced the sustainability development literacy of engineering undergraduates, and student engagement had a mediating role in the relationship between institutional support and sustainability development literacy. Relevant recommendations for cultivating engineering undergraduates with high-level sustainability development literacy are proposed here.

Source waste separation can greatly reduce the cost of solid waste treatment and disposal, and has considerable economic value. However, there are many kinds of domestic waste and their composition is complicated, which makes it difficult for residents to participate in it. As a collective behaviour of public participation, the difficulty of its existence can test the level of the role played by all participants. Therefore, based on the field research and literature comparison of Changzhi City, this paper establishes the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) evaluation model, and takes residents, government and market as the main participants to evaluate the classified participation of residents' garbage, and puts forward some suggestions to provide the basis for policy decision-making of public management in the field of environment.
