Have You Started Your CSC Scholarship Application?

Jan,06 2023

CSC--Chinese Government Scholarship is one of the most attractive scholarship for international students to Study in China.

Less than 300 Chinese universities can provide CSC scholarship, You can imagine how fierce the competition is.

For 2023/2024 Chinese Government Scholarship, most universities will select excellent candidates from early November of 2022 and end first round application in January.

Some universities may open second around but always remember, first come, first served.

In previous year, CSC applicants can choose three universities at same time, but this year, they can only apply one university. So it is necessary to make preparations in advance.

Here is application story of one applicant:

On October 8, 2022, began application

On November 24, 2022, one CSC applicants received interview notice

On January 6, 2023, received pre-admission letter. Final result will be released by the China Scholarship Council in June or July, 2023

TIPS ON CSC SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATION

If you are apply for the CSC scholarship (TYPE A)

The pre-admission letter can be a necessary document. As the most common way to apply for Type A scholarship is to apply throughthe Chinese Embassy in the applicant's country, the Embassy would ask the applicants to provide some documents such as identification, diploma, transcript, and pre-admission letter. The purpose is to assure that the target university is able to accept the applicant if he or she gets the scholarship in the end. Without the pre-admission letter, the embassy is taking the risk of wasting the precious scholarship quota for a student with high uncertainty. However, the pre-admission letter cannot be regarded as a guaranttee or promise for the scholarship.

If you are apply for the CSC scholarship (TYPE B)

The pre-admission letterwill be unnecessary. It may be prudent to contact the supervisors before you start the application, getting more information about the field and program that you are about to apply for. You and the supervisors may also make some sort of unofficial and informal agreements or documents showing willingness, such as the acceptance letter.

Some skills of communication

Last but not least,we would like to share some skills of communication. Some applicants contact the supervior and promptly ask for the acceptance letters and even the scholarship. Trust me, that is not a smart move at all, which will only make yourself and the supervisor awkward. Telling people how bad you want the scholarship does not help you win the scholarship at all. What the supervisor really cares about is your academic background, study and research capability, plan of study and how you can assist he or she to do the research.  

Tips 2:

Most of the universities in China are providing programs taught in Chinese or English, and sometimes both. The language proficiency is among the most important factors that may affects the result of your application for the CSC Scholarship.

"What is the basic requirement for language proficiency?"

It depends on what kind of program you choose, i.e., Chinese taught or English taught. In other words, you should decide what language you will be using for your future study.

To study programs taught in Chinese, for example, you should have at least passed the HSK 4 (level 4) for undergraduates and HSK 5 (level 5) for postgraduates.
