Introduction of CSC Scholarship

Introduction of CSC Scholarship

Are you planning to study in China and apply for a scholarship? This page will help you understand the scholarship landscape in China.

Chinese scholarships can be divided into the following five categories:

  • Chinese Government Scholarship (also known as CSC Scholarship)

  • Local Government Scholarship

  • University Scholarship

  • Enterprise/Corporate Scholarship

  • Scholarship for Enrolled Students

Important Note: Chinese Government Scholarship policies are subject to annual adjustments by the China Scholarship Council. The information on this page is compiled from general policies over the years. For specific application requirements, deadlines, funding amounts, and the list of eligible universities, please always refer to the official announcements on www.campuschina.org and the official websites of your target universities for the current academic year. This page is for reference only and does not constitute any guarantee of admission or scholarship award.

Except for the Scholarship for Enrolled Students, the other four types are available to new students. However, not all universities in China offer all five types, and scholarship availability varies significantly between institutions. If securing a scholarship is more important to you than the choice of university itself, selecting the right university and timing your application correctly are critical to maximizing your success rate.

Choosing your university wisely and using professional services can save you time and increase your chances by ensuring you follow the correct procedures. However, please note that no one can sell a scholarship seat, and no scholarship is guaranteed. Do not trust anyone who claims they can guarantee you a scholarship and charges you exorbitant fees. If you have sufficient time and are willing to put in the effort, you can apply on your own. If you prefer professional assistance, you may seek help from a legitimate agency.


1. Chinese Government Scholarship

The Chinese Government Scholarship, also known as the CSC (China Scholarship Council) Scholarship, is established by the Chinese government to support international students to study in China and to promote cultural exchange between China and the rest of the world. Currently, 279 Chinese higher education institutions and research institutes are designated to host CSC scholarship recipients. The CSC Scholarship comprises the following programs:

  1. Bilateral Program – Open to non-degree, bachelor, master, and doctoral applicants. Students must apply through the designated authorities for overseas study in their home country.

  2. Chinese University Program – Open to master’s and doctoral applicants only. Students may apply directly to the Chinese universities that participate in this program.

  3. ASEAN Program – Open to students from Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao PDR, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam.

  4. Great Wall Program – Open to students and scholars from developing countries, primarily for general and senior visiting scholars. Applicants must submit their applications to the National Commission for UNESCO in their home country and obtain a letter of recommendation.

  5. EU Program – Open to citizens of EU member states.

  6. AUN Program – Open to citizens of Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam.

  9. Marine Program – Open to students from coastal/island countries bordering the South China Sea, the Indian Ocean, the Pacific, and its surrounding islands, as well as developing countries in Africa and the Americas.

  10. MOFCOM Program – Open to applicants for bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral programs in fields such as trade, foreign affairs, agriculture, science and technology, education, culture, health, and public administration.

  11. All-China Federation of Trade Unions Silk Road Program – Open to students from “Belt and Road” countries. This program covers all levels of study – bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral – across a wide range of disciplines, including sciences, engineering, agriculture, medicine, economics, law, management, education, humanities, history, philosophy, and arts. Chinese language study is only one of the available categories.

Scholarship Coverage

The CSC Scholarship offers both full and partial scholarships. A full scholarship covers tuition, accommodation, a monthly living stipend, and comprehensive medical insurance. The current monthly stipend rates are:

  • Bachelor’s students: RMB 2,500/month

  • Master’s students: RMB 3,000/month

  • Doctoral students: RMB 3,500/month

A partial scholarship covers one or several components of the full scholarship.

How to Apply

  • Application Channel: For the Chinese University Program (Type B), you may apply directly to the university. For other programs, you must apply through the Chinese embassy in your home country or other relevant organizations.

  • Application Categories (A, B, C): When filling out the online application on the CSC system, you must select one of three types. Their meanings are as follows:

    • Type A (Bilateral and Special Programs) – These programs are administered by organizations other than Chinese universities, including the Bilateral Program, Great Wall Program, EU Program, WMO Program, ASEAN Program, etc. Type A programs are open to bachelor’s, master’s, doctoral, general scholar, and senior scholar applicants. You must submit your application to the relevant dispatching authority or international organization in your home country.

    • Type B (Chinese University Program) – This type is only for master’s and doctoral applicants. You must fill in the specific agency number of your target university; the application is then reviewed directly by that university. Undergraduate students should not choose this type.

    • Type C (Merit-Based Scholarship Program) – This type is for students already enrolled in a Chinese university who apply based on their academic performance during their current studies. The agency number for this type will be specified in the program recruitment notice issued by the CSC.

  • Fees: Some programs may require payment of an application fee to the university.

Required Documents

  1. Application Form for Chinese Government Scholarship (in Chinese or English).

  2. Notarized highest diploma – documents in languages other than Chinese or English must be accompanied by notarized translations.

  3. Academic transcripts (in Chinese or English) – transcripts in other languages must be translated and notarized.

  4. Study plan or research proposal (in Chinese or English) – minimum 200 words for undergraduate applicants, 800 words for postgraduate applicants.

  5. Two recommendation letters (in Chinese or English) – required only for master’s, doctoral, and senior scholar applicants, signed by professors or associate professors. Undergraduate applicants are not required to submit recommendation letters.

  7. If under 18, submit relevant documents about your legal guardian in China.

  8. Foreigner Physical Examination Form (photocopy).

  9. A copy of a valid HSK certificate (if available).

  • Submission Method: Currently, the CSC application is primarily online via the system (studyinchina.csc.edu.cn). You must fill in the form and upload scanned copies of all required documents. Whether you need to mail physical copies depends on each university's requirements – please check the specific university's admission guide for the current year. Application documents will not be returned.

Best Time to Apply

We recommend you start preparing your documents in December. For Type A programs, deadlines vary by country – many Southeast Asian countries close applications in mid-to-late December, while some Central Asian and African countries may accept applications until February of the following year. Be sure to check the exact deadline with your home country's dispatching authority or your target university. For Type B programs, each university sets its own deadline, generally between February and April. Allow ample time for the entire process.

Scholarship Results

Results are typically announced between June and July on the official websites of the universities or via the CSC system.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Is it easy to get a Chinese Government Scholarship?
A1: Scholarships are awarded to outstanding students. If you have strong academic performance and are dedicated to studying in China, you have a good chance, but it is not easy.

Q2: Do I have to pay to apply for a CSC Scholarship?
A2: You can apply on your own, and you may need to pay an application fee to the university. You may also choose to pay a professional agency for assistance with the process. No one can guarantee you a scholarship or sell a seat; you pay for their service, not for the scholarship itself.

Q3: What if I want to apply for a Chinese-taught program but have never studied Chinese?
A3: If you are awarded the scholarship, you may be granted up to one year of Chinese language preparatory courses. For undergraduate students, Chinese language proficiency is generally required; those without Chinese language ability must complete a one-year foundation program at a CSC-designated institution. For master's and doctoral programs, some disciplines offer English-taught courses; students in those programs may not need Chinese preparatory courses. Please check the specific language requirements of your target program.

Q4: Apart from the online application, what else do I need to do?
A4: You may also need to submit an application on the university's own website. For Type A programs, you must contact your home country's dispatching authority or relevant international organization for a recommendation. The required submission method (online or by post) varies by university – refer to the specific university's admission guide for that year.

Q5: If I have received a CSC Scholarship before, can I apply again?
A5: Yes, but with a restriction at the same degree level. CSC regulations stipulate that a candidate cannot receive a full CSC scholarship for the same degree level more than once. For example:

  • If you received a CSC scholarship for your bachelor's degree, you cannot apply for another CSC bachelor's program.

  • You may apply for a CSC master's program (different level).

  • Similarly, a previous CSC master's recipient may apply for a CSC doctoral program.

Each scholarship recipient can only hold one CSC-funded status at a time.
