Optional expert support

Want us to handle your entire application?

All of our guides, templates, and university pages are free: and always will be. If you'd rather have an experienced pair of hands do the heavy lifting, the Full CSC Application Package is $700 and covers up to 3 scholarship applications, or the Self-Funded Direct Admission Package is $500 for a single paid-tuition university application handled end-to-end.

The CSC scholarship itself is always free to apply for on the official portal. Our fee covers personal consulting time and expertise only. We are an independent service: not affiliated with the China Scholarship Council or any university, and no one can guarantee selection.

Frequently asked questions

What exactly is included in the Full CSC Application Package?

The $700 package covers up to 3 scholarship applications (2 Type A + 1 Type B), university and professor shortlisting, professor outreach continued until an acceptance letter is secured, study plan or research proposal writing and review, full document preparation and checking, CSC/CGSIS and university portal submission, and follow-up until results are announced. The fee covers personal consulting time: the scholarship itself is always free.

What's the difference between the CSC Package and the Self-Funded Direct Admission Package?

The $700 CSC Package targets fully-funded scholarship applications (up to 3, across Type A and Type B). The $500 Self-Funded Direct Admission Package handles a single paid-tuition university application end-to-end: university choice, portal application, documents, translations, ISO follow-up, and the visa checklist. Pick self-funded if you missed the CSC window or want a faster, more predictable admission decision.

Can I buy just one service?

Yes. You can pick any single individual service: from $50: if you only need help with one part of your application. The Full Package is there if you'd rather have everything handled end to end.

Do you guarantee an acceptance letter or scholarship?

No one can guarantee selection: decisions rest with professors, universities, and the China Scholarship Council. What we guarantee is our effort: we maximize your chances and work until the agreed outreach or deliverable is complete.

Can you guarantee I will get the scholarship?

No: and be very cautious of anyone who claims they can. Selection is decided by the universities and the China Scholarship Council. What we do is maximise your chances by making your application as strong, complete, and well-targeted as possible.

How does payment work?

There is nothing to pay upfront on this site. After your first message we discuss your case, confirm scope, and agree on payment details before any work begins. The CSC application itself is always free on the official portal.

What is the timeline?

We work around the application windows (typically December–April). It is best to start 1–2 months before your target university's deadline so there is time for outreach, drafting, and revisions.

Is this affiliated with the CSC or a university?

No. This is fully independent consulting. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to the China Scholarship Council, any university, or any government body.
