It is reported that since 2006, Duan Yongping has set up an equal matching fund to attract more alumni and people from all walks of life to care about and support the development of education through "teamwork". In 2006, it set up "Yongping school loan fund". Referring to the original intention, he said, "I applied for four yuan to buy a train ticket in Nanchang, and I was also helped by the state." So far, the Yongping school loan fund has approved 1166 applications, more than 116 million yuan. Yongping scholarship has awarded 750 outstanding students in total.
In 2006, Duan Yongping also donated to the school of information and telecommunications, his mother hospital, to set up a "talent introduction fund" to help the school attract high-level talents and provide important help for building a talent highland with famous teachers.
In addition, the "Yongping scholarship of Zhejiang University" launched in 2012 has created a precedent for domestic colleges and universities to award front-line teachers.
