Beasiswa CSC From Indonesia: Agency 3602, Apostille, Dates

Indonesia's Type A is refreshingly simple: apply online at campuschina.org under agency number 3602 ("There is no need to send paper materials to the embassy") and the embassy reviews and forwards recommendations to CSC (official 2026/27 embassy notice). The 2026/27 cycle: notice published October 27, 2025; deadline February 8, 2026; embassy forwarding February 9–March 5; results checkable July–August, with winners downloading the admission notice + JW201 from the system. The bilateral envelope: "China–Indonesia Scholarship in Higher Education Program," 20 places (bachelor's/master's/PhD in marine, medical, health, tourism, education and other priority majors). It is a full scholarship, but international travel is NOT included. Embassy contact: eduindonesia@163.com. The previous cycle ran November 6 → February 23, so expect the 2027-28 notice around late October–November 2026.

For a Type B route, follow the university's current notice. It may require both the university system and campuschina.org with that university's agency number (for example, Beijing Normal University publishes agency number 10027 in its official Type B guide). Application combinations and portal limits can change, so confirm them in CGSIS and in both route notices rather than assuming every Type A and Type B combination is allowed.

Passport valid ≥12 months from expected study start; notarized highest diploma + notarized translations; transcripts; HSK4 (Chinese-taught postgrad) / HSK3 (general scholar) or IELTS/TOEFL per university; pre-admission document required for all applicants (our letters guide); study plan (200/500/800 words minimum by level); 2 recommendation letters (postgrads); physical examination form (our guide); police clearance (SKCK) issued within 6 months; CSCA score for bachelor's applicants; sittings were December 21, 2025 / January 25, 2026 (our CSCA guide). All per the official embassy notice above.

Since November 7, 2023 the Apostille Convention applies between Indonesia and China: the Chinese Embassy and Consulates ceased legalization; Indonesian documents "only need to apply for Indonesian Apostille" via Kemenkumham's portal (apostille.ahu.go.id) (official embassy notice). One caveat from the same notice: an apostille doesn't guarantee the receiving Chinese institution accepts the document's format/translation, so confirm requirements with the university.

X1 applications go through the CVASC Jakarta (The East Building, Mega Kuningan), with online application live since June 30, 2025 (embassy notice); scholarship winners use the JW201 downloaded from the CSC system. Residence permit within 30 days of arrival.

Pitfalls (all official-sourced): wrong agency number = application never received; missing both CSCA sittings = ineligible for bachelor's; concealing another Chinese scholarship = cancellation + 3-year ban; passports under 12 months validity must be renewed BEFORE applying; airfare is self-funded, so budget it. Timeline projection: notice ~late Oct–Nov 2026 → CSCA Dec/Jan → deadline ~early-to-late February 2027 → results July–August 2027 → September intake. Start pre-admission outreach from September 2026.

For help working through the published requirements, our $100 Professor Outreach provides an agreed outreach campaign, the Full CSC Package ($700) covers a written application scope, and the $50 shortlisting session compares potential targets. None promises a reply, letter, admission, or scholarship.
