The Chinese Government Scholarship Program was established by the Ministry of Education of China (MoE) to provide scholarships to international students and scholars. MoE entrusts the China Scholarship Council (CSC) to manage the recruitment and carry out the routine managements of the Chinese Government Scholarship Program.
Scholarships for this program fall into two categories: full scholarships and partial scholarships. Scholarships are available to students enrolled at a U.S. college or university at the undergraduate and graduate level in all programs. Applicants must be non-Chinese citizens in good health who are enrolled full-time as undergraduate or graduate students at an accredited U.S. college or university.
Duration
CSC scholarships cover different durations of study at a hosting institution in the PRC according to one's application. Applicants for the CSC choose their host institutions from the Chinese Higher Education Institutions listed in the Directory of Chinese Institutions. For further information about host institutions, applicants should visit: www.csc.edu.cn/laihua.
