I am Rich from China Admissions we are an online platform for international students
to apply to Chinese universities we have helped many international students get scholarships in
china recently we have so many students asking us about scholarships so we are listing on our
platform all of the scholarships in chinese universities we want to make it much more
transparent if you're interested in updates please subscribe on our youtube channel and also register
on our platform we'll give you updates there are two types of scholarships in chinese universities
there's chinese scholarship council which is the chinese government scholarship and the
university scholarships i'm going to introduce the scholarships how to apply i'm also going to give
you some tips on how to increase your chances of getting accepted the chinese scholarship
council or the chinese government scholarship is probably the biggest way to get scholarships the
csc is the chinese government scholarship there are 279 universities that accept students on this
scholarship so how it works is the csc is based in beijing and they assign the quota to universities
and embassies all around the world each of these they get a number of students they can accept for
the scholarship so how you apply for it is you need to apply on the online application system
of the csc government scholarship prepare all of the documents perfectly and then
send them to the agency which is the embassy or the university i have the full list of the
agencies in the description you probably want to apply to the embassy in your own country or
the university can you apply to both universities and embassies yes you can you can make multiple
applications i'm going to tell you exactly how to apply and give you some tips a bit later there is
equator for each country for example in pakistan there's so many students applying so it's a little
bit more difficult but if you're looking in united states or in uk or in new zealand there's not as
many students applying so it can be a lot easier and the acceptance rate can be a lot higher from
certain countries so what you do is you print off the documents and then you need to send them to
the embassy or the university who will process the application they will check and they will give a
short list of those that they have assigned to the scholarship send them to the csc office in beijing
and then you will get the update about whether you have got these scholarship later on so here is a
list of the documents you need to send with your application you need to send your highest academic
transcript passport copy study plan research proposal which is really important recommendation
letters you need to show the visa if you've been to china before also you need a medical
exam form to show that you're healthy and it's also helpful if you have a pre-admission letter
you've already been accepted to a university but if you don't have that it's not 100 necessary to
send it then so the universities they have many different scholarships if you want to apply for
the university scholarship these are the ones that we're adding on our platform so you can subscribe
to our youtube channel admissions we'll give you more updates about these scholarships sometimes
when you apply to the university they will just give you the scholarship automatically but you
also need to follow the exact requirements for each scholarship at each university so
for example every student that applies to jiangsu university on china admissions gets a presidential
scholarship automatically on our platform we have more information about all of the scholarships at
chinese universities normally these scholarships will go to the best students with the highest
grades so it's important to have a really good application when you apply to these scholarships
obviously this is completely separate for the chinese government scholarship so you can apply
to the university scholarships and the chinese government scholarship why not apply to as many
scholarships as possible so for the timing of the scholarship it is normally open from
january february march and the deadline will be in march or just after the spring festival and
you can apply for september intake for university scholarships they will have different deadlines
according to the university so i have some tips on how you can increase your chances of getting
a scholarship but firstly it's kind of obvious but you need to have a really strong application
when you apply so make sure that you have the best application documents make sure you really
understand the university you're applying for so make sure to double check all of your essays and
to check all of this so it's 100 perfect if you can speak some chinese it definitely helps you can
take an online program to get a certificate for example beijing language and culture university
they offer online certificate programs if you take one of these courses it can be done in 12
weeks you can get a certificate and attach that to your application it will definitely help because
it shows that you've already been studying some chinese the higher chinese level that you have the
better if you have some chinese it's definitely better than none another of the main tips is make
sure you apply as early as possible a lot of the scholarships go to students who apply earlier so
why not apply as early as possible if you apply later there's a lot more competition and don't
apply just on the deadline one of the things that you have to make sure is when you prepare all of
the documents to send everything 100 perfectly so you need to make sure to double check that
it's exactly how they want it because often they will get many applications so they probably don't
have time to give feedback to all the students so that's why it's really important to just give
all of the documents in a perfect way and this is another thing which is related it's really
good if you can try and contact them and try and ask them to check your application try and make
contact with them and say hi i'm just sending an application please can you double check it's
all okay if you make contact with them it will encourage them to check your application and then
they will get back to you and give you feedback if you're living in the country and you want to
apply to the embassy it can be really helpful if you can go to the embassy in person i know
it may be difficult with covid but if you can find a way where you can meet the people show them your
application documents and ask them to check that can definitely help because they can give you
feedback right there on the spot so the process for the chinese government scholarship sometimes
it can take some time because it needs to be processed by the university or by the embassy
and then it needs to go to the csc where they allocate the scholarships and then they will
need to assign you to the university you will get the scholarship out so this whole process
can take a bit of time so if you apply in march you can get the update in june july or august
so it can be a bit late it's difficult to know it depends on the exact process of the exact country
that you're applying for there's a few programs that you might want to consider there are four and
a half thousand programmes in china in english but you can also study chinese programs if you study a
chinese program you actually have a higher chance of getting a scholarship because china wants more
people to speak chinese so if you can study on a foundation program such as beijing language
and culture college they have a foundation program where you can study one year in chinese
and then after that you can get a full scholarship at tianjin university so this is a great program
and a great way to get the scholarship if you have any questions or comments please let me know in
