Chinese Government Scholarship (CSC): Complete Application Guide for International Students

Fully Funded Scholarship

2027–2028 Application Guide

Introduction: Study in China Without Paying Tuition Fees

China has become one of the most attractive destinations for international students looking for quality education, affordable living costs and opportunities to develop international careers.

Over the years, Chinese universities have invested heavily in science, technology, engineering, medicine, business, artificial intelligence and other academic fields.

However, studying abroad can be expensive. International tuition fees, accommodation, food, transportation and other expenses can make it difficult for students to pursue their academic ambitions.

Fortunately, the Chinese government offers scholarships that allow international students to study at participating Chinese universities with significant financial support.

One of the most popular programmes is the Chinese Government Scholarship (CSC), administered by the China Scholarship Council.

The scholarship provides opportunities for international students to pursue undergraduate, master's and doctoral degrees in China. Depending on the scholarship category, successful applicants can receive tuition coverage, accommodation, a monthly living allowance and medical insurance.

However, applying for the CSC scholarship can be confusing, especially for first-time applicants.

You may encounter terms such as Type A, Type B, agency number, university pre-admission letter and CSC application portal.

What do these terms mean? Which application route should you choose? How do you identify the correct agency number? What documents do you need?

This guide explains the entire process in simple English so that you can understand how to prepare and submit a competitive application.

1. What Is the Chinese Government Scholarship (CSC)?

iec.cug.edu.cn

The Chinese Government Scholarship is a scholarship programme established by the Chinese government to support international education and academic exchange.

It is administered by the China Scholarship Council, commonly known as CSC.

The programme allows eligible international students to study at designated Chinese universities and institutions.

It covers several academic levels, including:

• Undergraduate degrees.
• Master's degrees.
• Doctoral degrees (PhD).
• General scholar programmes.
• Senior scholar programmes.

Students can apply for programmes in different academic disciplines, including:

• Engineering and technology.
• Computer science and artificial intelligence.
• Medicine and public health.
• Business administration.
• Economics and finance.
• Agriculture.
• Environmental science.
• International relations.
• Education.
• Law.
• Natural sciences.
• Arts and humanities.

The scholarship is particularly attractive because it offers different application routes, allowing applicants to apply through their home-country authorities or directly through participating Chinese universities.

2. What Does the Chinese Government Scholarship Cover?

Full scholarship option

The full Chinese Government Scholarship generally provides the following benefits:

A. Full tuition fee coverage

Successful recipients of the full scholarship receive tuition coverage for their approved academic programme.

This means you do not have to pay the standard tuition fees covered by your award.

B. Free university accommodation

The scholarship generally provides university accommodation or an accommodation subsidy according to the applicable scholarship arrangements.

The exact accommodation arrangement depends on the university.

C. Monthly living allowance

Students receive a monthly stipend to help cover everyday expenses such as food, transportation, personal items and other living costs.

The standard full-scholarship monthly allowances are:

Amounts are in Chinese yuan (CNY/RMB). These are standard published stipend rates; confirm the award terms for your programme and intake.

admission.blcu.edu.cn+1

D. Comprehensive medical insurance

The full scholarship includes comprehensive medical insurance during the approved study period.

This helps cover eligible medical expenses under the applicable insurance arrangements.

E. Additional benefits

Depending on the scholarship category, students may also receive support for other approved academic and administrative arrangements.

Important: Not every scholarship advertised as a Chinese Government Scholarship offers identical benefits. Some are partial scholarships, while others may have different accommodation or financial arrangements.

Always check the specific scholarship announcement before applying.

Does the CSC scholarship cover flight tickets?

Do not automatically assume that international airfare is included.

For example, the 2027–2028 announcement published by the Chinese Consulate-General in Sydney explicitly states that international travel expenses are not covered.

Flight arrangements can differ between scholarship programmes and bilateral agreements. Confirm this with the authority handling your application.

3. Understanding CSC Type A and Type B Applications

2025 Application Instructions for International Students (Doctoral Programs) at Shandong University-山东大学留学山大

istudy.sdu.edu.cn

This is probably the most important part of the entire application process.

When you visit the CSC application portal, you will be asked to select a programme category.

The two main categories you will encounter are:

• Type A – Bilateral Programme.
• Type B – Chinese University Programme.

Although both can lead to a Chinese Government Scholarship, they have different application routes.

Let's explain each one.

A. Type A: Bilateral Programme

Type A is designed for applicants applying through an official authority in their home country under an educational cooperation agreement with China.

Depending on the country, the application may be handled by:

• The Chinese Embassy.
• The Ministry of Education.
• A government scholarship agency.
• Another officially designated government institution.

For example, a Nigerian applicant may need to follow the application announcement and instructions issued by the relevant Chinese diplomatic mission or designated Nigerian authority.

How does Type A work?

1. Check whether your country has opened applications for the bilateral scholarship.
2. Read the official announcement and eligibility requirements.
3. Identify the application authority responsible for your country.
4. Obtain the correct CSC agency number from that authority.
5. Register on the CSC application portal.
6. Select Type A as your programme category.
7. Enter the agency number provided to you.
8. Complete the application and upload the required documents.
9. Follow the instructions for submitting any additional documents to your country's designated authority.

Depending on the country, you may also be required to complete a separate application or screening process.

Who should consider Type A?

Type A is suitable for applicants who want to apply through their country's official bilateral scholarship arrangement.

It can offer opportunities at different academic levels, although the available programmes depend on the annual agreement and country-specific announcement.

B. Type B: Chinese University Programme

Type B allows applicants to apply through designated Chinese universities participating in the scholarship programme.

Instead of relying on your home country's government to nominate you, you apply directly to a participating Chinese university.

The university reviews your application and may recommend qualified candidates for the Chinese Government Scholarship.

How does Type B work?

1. Research Chinese universities offering your preferred programme.
2. Visit the university's international admissions or scholarship website.
3. Confirm that the university accepts Type B CSC applications.
4. Check the university's admission requirements and deadline.
5. Obtain its correct CSC agency number.
6. Register on the CSC application portal.
7. Select Type B.
8. Enter the university's agency number.
9. Complete your application and upload your supporting documents.
10. Follow the university's instructions for any additional application or admission procedures.

Some universities require a separate university application in addition to the CSC application.

Others may request a pre-admission letter or additional documents before recommending candidates.

Who should consider Type B?

Type B is particularly useful for applicants who already have a specific university or academic programme in mind.

It also allows you to research different universities and identify institutions that match your academic qualifications and career ambitions.

Type A vs Type B: What is the difference?

Shanghai Gov International Services+2

Which one is better?

Neither is automatically better.

Your choice should depend on which route is available to you, the universities and courses you want, and the requirements of the relevant scholarship announcement.

If you want to apply to a particular Chinese university, Type B may be a convenient route.

If your country has a bilateral scholarship programme with an open application window, Type A may be appropriate.

4. What Is a CSC Agency Number and Why Is It Important?

Many first-time applicants become confused when the CSC application portal asks for an agency number.

An agency number is an identification code assigned to the authority or institution responsible for receiving and processing a particular CSC application.

It helps the CSC system identify where your application should be directed.

For example:

• Under Type A, the agency number is provided by the designated authority in your home country.
• Under Type B, the agency number is provided by the participating Chinese university.

Examples of agency numbers

The following examples appear in published application instructions:

These examples are for illustration. Always verify the number for your intended application year and programme.

International Student Office+1

Where can you find your agency number?

For Type A:

• Check the Chinese Embassy website in your country.
• Check the relevant Ministry of Education announcement.
• Contact the official scholarship processing authority.

For Type B:

• Visit the international admissions page of your preferred university.
• Look for its Chinese Government Scholarship application guide.
• Contact the university's international student admissions office.

How to enter the agency number

Application for CSC Scholarship NENU Independent Enrollment Program(Type-B) 2020 - 国际学生服务平台

studyatnenu.nenu.edu.cn

When completing your CSC application:

1. Log into the application portal.
2. Select the correct programme category.
3. Enter the agency number.
4. Check the institution name automatically displayed by the system.
5. Confirm that the displayed institution matches your intended application authority.

Important: Never use an agency number simply because you found it on a scholarship blog or social media post.

An incorrect agency number or programme category can prevent your application from reaching the correct processing authority.

Each university has its own agency number, and the number is not interchangeable between institutions.

Also, do not confuse a university's CSC agency number with its regular university application number.

5. How to Choose the Right Chinese University

gadps.cpu.edu.cn

China has many universities that accept international students through government scholarship programmes.

However, not every Chinese university offers every degree programme under CSC.

Your first task should be identifying universities that offer your preferred course and accept applications through your chosen scholarship route.

Where can you find eligible universities?

Start with the official Study in China website:

Study in China – Official Scholarship and University Information

You can also search individual university websites for their international admissions and scholarship announcements.

Five things to check before choosing a university

1. Course availability

Does the university offer your intended degree programme?

2. Scholarship availability

Does it accept CSC applicants for your chosen academic level?

3. Language of instruction

Is the course taught in English or Chinese?

4. Admission requirements

Does your academic qualification meet the university's requirements?

5. Application deadline

Does the university still accept applications for the intended intake?

Do not choose a university simply because it has a famous name. Choose one where your qualifications, interests and proposed study programme are a good match.

6. Documents Required for the CSC Scholarship

Scholarship Requirements Checklist (Documents You'll Need)

mycvcreator.com

Preparing your documents early can save you a lot of time.

Although the exact requirements vary depending on your degree level, university and scholarship category, the following documents are commonly requested.

A. Valid international passport

You will need a valid passport for identification and future travel arrangements.

Make sure your personal information is clearly visible in the scanned copy.

B. Academic certificates

You must provide evidence of your previous educational qualifications.

For example:

• Undergraduate applicants: High school certificate or equivalent.
• Master's applicants: Bachelor's degree certificate.
• PhD applicants: Master's degree certificate.

If you have not graduated yet, some universities may accept an official expected-graduation or student-status certificate during the application stage.

C. Academic transcripts

Your transcripts show the courses you studied and the grades you obtained.

Make sure the documents are official and complete.

If they are not in Chinese or English, you may need certified or notarised translations.

D. Study plan or research proposal

This is one of the most important documents, particularly for master's and PhD applicants.

A study plan explains:

• Your academic background.
• Why you want to study in China.
• Why you selected the university.
• Your intended field of study.
• Your academic interests.
• Your research objectives, where applicable.
• How the degree will support your future career.

For doctoral applicants, the research proposal should be more detailed and should reflect a clear research direction.

Some CSC guidance specifies minimum study-plan lengths depending on academic level. Follow the exact instructions issued by your university or processing authority.

E. Recommendation letters

Applicants for postgraduate programmes are commonly required to submit two recommendation letters from professors or associate professors.

Your referees should be able to discuss your academic abilities, research potential and suitability for postgraduate education.

F. Language proficiency certificate

You may need to demonstrate proficiency in the language used to teach your selected programme.

This could include:

• IELTS.
• TOEFL.
• HSK.
• Another university-approved language certificate.

Some universities accept alternative evidence, such as a previous degree taught in English. This depends on the institution's policy.

G. Foreigner Physical Examination Form

Applicants planning to study in China for more than six months are commonly required to submit the Foreigner Physical Examination Form.

The examination must be completed according to the official instructions.

Ensure that the form is properly signed, stamped and accompanied by the required photograph.

The examination results are generally valid for six months.

H. Police clearance certificate

Some scholarship authorities and universities require a valid non-criminal record certificate or police clearance certificate.

Check how recently it must have been issued.

I. Passport-sized photograph

Prepare a recent passport-style photograph that meets the application portal's specifications.

J. Additional documents

Depending on your programme, you may also need:

• Portfolio for arts and design programmes.
• Publications or research papers.
• CV or résumé.
• Pre-admission letter.
• Supervisor acceptance or invitation letter.
• Additional university application forms.

The official CSC application guidance lists academic records, language certificates, study plans, references and health documentation among the supporting materials.

7. Language Requirements: Can You Apply Without IELTS or HSK?

One of the biggest concerns for international students is whether they need IELTS, TOEFL or HSK to apply for the Chinese Government Scholarship.

The answer depends on the language in which your chosen programme is taught.

There are two main options.

A. English-taught programmes

If you choose an English-taught programme, the university may require proof of English proficiency.

Commonly accepted qualifications include:

• IELTS.
• TOEFL.
• Other recognised English proficiency examinations.
• An official Medium of Instruction (MOI) certificate from your previous university, where accepted.

Some universities may waive IELTS or TOEFL if you completed your previous education in English.

However, this is not a universal CSC exemption. Each university decides what evidence it accepts.

For example, a Nigerian applicant who completed a bachelor's degree at an English-speaking university may be able to request an English proficiency exemption using an MOI certificate.

Before applying, contact the university's international admissions office and ask whether it accepts MOI instead of IELTS or TOEFL.

B. Chinese-taught programmes

If you want to study in Chinese, you may need to provide an HSK certificate.

HSK stands for Hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi. It is a standard examination used to assess Chinese-language proficiency among non-native speakers.

The required HSK level depends on the academic programme and university.

Common requirements include:

Some universities offer Chinese preparatory courses for scholarship recipients who need to improve their language skills before beginning their main academic programmes.

However, you should never assume that a preparatory year is automatically included.

Can I apply without IELTS?

Yes, in some cases.

You may be eligible for an English-taught programme without IELTS if the university accepts another form of English proficiency evidence or grants an exemption.

Can I apply without knowing Chinese?

Yes.

You can apply for an English-taught programme without already being fluent in Chinese, provided you meet the university's language requirements.

Learning basic Mandarin before travelling is still useful for everyday life in China.

8. CSC Scholarship Eligibility Requirements

The Chinese Government Scholarship is open to international applicants who meet the requirements for their selected academic programme.

Although individual universities and scholarship authorities may have additional conditions, the commonly published general eligibility requirements include:

studychina.chinaservicesinfo.com+1

Other general requirements include:

• You must be a citizen of a country other than China.
• You must be in good physical and mental health.
• You must meet the academic admission requirements of your selected university.
• You must meet the language requirements of your chosen programme.
• You must satisfy the specific scholarship category requirements.

Important: These are general published eligibility guidelines, not a guarantee that every university or programme uses identical conditions. Some specialised scholarships have different age limits and professional experience requirements.

Can you apply with a second-class lower degree?

Potentially, yes.

There is no single universal CGPA requirement that applies to every CSC university and programme.

However, individual universities can establish their own academic standards.

If you have a second-class lower degree, search for universities whose admission requirements match your academic background.

Your research experience, professional qualifications and study plan may also strengthen your application, although they do not replace formal admission requirements.

Official website: Study in China

Step 3: Choose Type A or Type B

Decide which application route is appropriate.

• Type A: Apply through your country's designated scholarship authority.
• Type B: Apply through a participating Chinese university.

Read the specific announcement before proceeding.

Step 4: Obtain the correct agency number

If you choose Type A, obtain the number from your country's designated authority.

If you choose Type B, obtain the number directly from your chosen university.

Make sure the agency number matches your programme category.

Step 5: Contact your university

For Type B applicants, contact the university's international admissions office.

Ask whether it accepts CSC applications for your intended programme and whether it requires a separate university application.

You may also need to request a pre-admission letter.

For Type A applicants, follow the instructions of the designated authority regarding university preferences and pre-admission documents.

Step 6: Prepare your supporting documents

Scan your passport, certificates, transcripts and other required documents.

Prepare your study plan and research proposal carefully.

Make sure your documents are readable and that your names and dates are consistent.

Step 7: Register on the CSC application portal

Chinese Government Scholarship Application Portal

The official online application system is used to submit CSC scholarship applications.

Open CSC Application Portal

You can create an account if you are a first-time applicant.

Step 8: Complete the online application

After creating an account:

1. Log into the application system.
2. Complete your personal information.
3. Select Application Online or New Application.
4. Select Type A or Type B.
5. Enter the correct agency number.
6. Select your student category.
7. Enter your intended university and major according to the system's available options.
8. Complete the language proficiency and study plan sections.
9. Upload your supporting documents.
10. Review the information and submit.

The university name should appear after entering a valid agency number.

The programme category and agency number must match.

Step 9: Complete any additional university application

Some Type B universities require you to apply through their own admission portal in addition to the CSC system.

You may need to:

• Create another university application account.
• Complete an additional admission form.
• Upload your academic documents again.
• Pay a university application fee, if applicable.
• Submit a pre-admission document.

Not all universities charge application fees. Check the official announcement before paying anything.

Step 10: Monitor your application

After submission:

• Save your application number.
• Download or print your application form.
• Check your email regularly.
• Monitor the CSC application portal.
• Respond promptly if the university requests additional information.

Some universities may conduct interviews or additional academic assessments.

Step 11: Wait for the scholarship decision

The university or relevant scholarship authority will review and process your application.

Successful candidates will receive further instructions concerning admission, scholarship confirmation, visa documentation and registration.

10. Application Deadlines: When Should You Apply?

The Chinese Government Scholarship does not have one universal application deadline.

The deadline depends on your application category, country, university and scholarship programme.

For example, the 2027–2028 cycle has already started appearing in official announcements.

Some universities have published application windows running from October 2026 into February 2027, while bilateral programme deadlines may differ.

Here are some examples:

These are examples, not universal deadlines.

International Student Office+1

What about Nigerian applicants?

If you are applying from Nigeria, pay particular attention to announcements from:

• The Embassy of the People's Republic of China in Nigeria.
• Relevant Nigerian government scholarship authorities.
• Your selected Chinese universities.

Do not use a deadline published for another country as your own deadline.

For Type B applications, the university's deadline is particularly important.

For Type A applications, check the local application and nomination instructions.

My advice: Start preparing your documents at least three to six months before your intended university deadline.

This gives you enough time to obtain transcripts, prepare research proposals, contact supervisors and correct any document problems.

11. Important Tips to Improve Your CSC Scholarship Application

Competition for scholarships can be high, particularly at popular Chinese universities.

Meeting the minimum eligibility requirements does not automatically guarantee selection.

Here are practical ways to improve your application.

1. Choose a programme that matches your background

Avoid applying for a programme simply because it sounds attractive.

Your previous education and experience should provide a reasonable foundation for your proposed course.

2. Write a convincing study plan

Your study plan should explain why you want to study the selected subject, what you hope to learn and how you intend to use that knowledge.

Avoid generic statements that could be submitted to any university.

3. Research your preferred university

Understand the university's research strengths, programme structure and academic environment.

For postgraduate applicants, identifying a potential research supervisor can be particularly helpful.

4. Contact professors where appropriate

If you are applying for a master's by research or PhD programme, consider contacting professors whose research interests align with yours.

Introduce yourself professionally and explain your research interests.

An acceptance or invitation letter may strengthen your application where the university or programme allows it, but it does not guarantee a scholarship.

5. Apply early

Some universities close applications earlier than others.

Waiting until the final week can leave you with insufficient time to resolve problems.

6. Check the agency number twice

This is a simple but important detail.

Entering an incorrect agency number can cause your application to be directed incorrectly.

7. Apply only through official channels

The CSC application system and university admission portals should be your primary application channels.

Be cautious of agents who promise guaranteed scholarship awards in exchange for money.

8. Prepare for interviews

Some universities or authorities may invite applicants for interviews.

Be prepared to explain:

• Why you selected China.
• Why you selected the university.
• Why you want to study the subject.
• Your academic background.
• Your research interests.
• Your future career plans.
