Objective To investigate the difference of grant and aid systems for graduates of clinical medicine of "985" universities in China, in order to provide references for further advancing the system in West China. Methods Three "985" universities were selected from each part of China including eastern China, central China and western China. A structured questionnaire was used to investigate the administrative departments of graduate study. The following data were included: grant extraction structure, academic scholarship coverage, living subsidies, three indexes of post allowance, etc. Excel software was used to summarize data, and then descriptive analysis was conducted to analyze the relevant data. Results The grant systems for graduate students was mainly composed of three parts including financial allocation, social support and school aid in clinical medical colleges of "985" universities in China. The doctor scholarship coverage reached 100% in each region, while the coverage of academic scholarship for postgraduates, whole life subsidy levels of graduate students and "Three Helps" job coverage ratio were presented in the following trend: eastern China > central China > western China. Conclusion Compared with the grant and aid systems for graduate students of clinical medicine of "985" Universities in eastern and central China, the graduate grant in western China has the following problems, such as less coverage, lack of social support resources, imperfect grant systems without incentive mechanism.
