In order to promote the mutual understanding, cooperation and exchanges in various fields between China and other countries, the Chinese government has set up a series of scholarship programs to sponsor international students, teachers and scholars to study and conduct research in Chinese universities.

The China Scholarship Council (CSC) entrusted by the Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China (MOE), is responsible for the enrollment and the administration of CGS programs.

The Full CGS covers tuition fees, stipend, on-campus accommodation (or accommodation subsidy), and medical insurance. For further information about CGS, please visit the CSC website: http://www.campuschina.org/

 

Application Channel

The CGS includes a series of subprograms. Each program has its own application channel. Please refer to the CSC website for the application channel of your target CGS program：http://www.campuschina.org/content/details3_74776.html

The application of some CGS programs opens much earlier than that of the CGS-Chinese University Program. For instance, the CGS Bilateral Program usually opens for application from November to April. The application schedule and requirements varies from country to country. Please consult relevant authorities in advance.
