Jasmine Jiangsu Scholarship 2026: How to Apply

Yes, but “Jasmine Jiangsu Government Scholarship” is now the legacy name. In 2020, the Jiangsu Provincial Department of Education officially renamed it the Study in Jiangsu Government Scholarship (留学江苏政府奖学金). Current English-language provincial pages shorten that to Jiangsu Government Scholarship (official renaming notice).

The program is active in 2026. On April 17, 2026, the Jiangsu Provincial Department of Education published application channels for 30 participating universities (official 2026 scholarship page). Applicants still search for “Jasmine Jiangsu,” so this guide uses both names.

There is no safe province-wide amount to quote for every university and degree. Current award values depend on the provincial allocation, host university, program, degree level, and whether the student is new or continuing.

A verified 2026 example from Xuzhou Medical University shows how much the figures can differ:

• Bachelor's in Anesthesiology: CNY 50,000 per year; the provincial government decides the seat.
• Master's: CNY 70,000 per year.
• PhD: CNY 90,000 per year.
• Continuing postgraduate students (second year and above): CNY 30,000 per year, based on academic performance.

Sources: XZMU's official 2026 bachelor's brochure and 2026 master's/PhD brochure.

Older pages describing one universal “full” package or a flat CNY 30,000 partial award reflect earlier rules. Use the amount in your university's current brochure and final award letter.

1. Start with the province's official 2026 list of participating universities and application channels. 2. Open the current international-student brochure for your degree and university. Look for Jiangsu Government Scholarship, Study in Jiangsu Government Scholarship, or the legacy Jasmine Jiangsu name. 3. Submit the university admission application in the portal linked by Jiangsu. Scholarship review normally depends on a complete admission application. 4. Complete the provincial application only when the university's current instructions tell you to. The workflow is not identical at every host. 5. Watch the university portal and your email for document checks, interviews, nomination, and the final award notice.

For example, XZMU's official 2026 postgraduate brochure explicitly requires two applications: its international-student system and the Jiangsu Government Scholarship website. Do not assume that every university uses that exact two-system workflow.

There was no single public deadline for all 30 universities. Each host set its own admission window and scholarship process.

One current official example: Xuzhou Medical University's 2026 postgraduate applications ran February 23 to May 31, while its English-taught Anesthesiology bachelor's applications ran March 20 to June 30. Those are XZMU dates, not a province-wide rule.

For the next intake, use the university portal in Jiangsu's official host list and start checking from January. Treat any website advertising one universal Jasmine deadline as incomplete unless it names the university and cycle.

The Jiangsu Provincial Department of Education listed 30 university application channels for 2026:

Nanjing: Nanjing University, Southeast University, Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Nanjing University of Science and Technology, Hohai University, Nanjing Agricultural University, China Pharmaceutical University, Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications, Nanjing Forestry University, NUIST, Nanjing Tech University, Nanjing Normal University, Nanjing University of Finance and Economics, Nanjing Medical University, Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine, Nanjing Audit University, Nanjing University of the Arts, and Nanjing Xiaozhuang University.

Elsewhere in Jiangsu: Jiangnan University, China University of Mining and Technology, Jiangsu Normal University, Xuzhou Medical University, Jiangsu University, Jiangsu University of Science and Technology, Yangzhou University, Nantong University, Soochow University, Huaiyin Institute of Technology, Changzhou University, and Changzhou Institute of Technology.

Use the province's official three-page list as the source of truth. A Jiangsu address alone does not prove that a university has a current allocation.

Eligibility is set by the current provincial allocation and the host university's admission rules. Expect to need non-Chinese citizenship, good physical and mental health, the correct previous degree, a competitive academic record, and the language evidence required by the program.

Age limits are not safe to copy from an old Jasmine page. In XZMU's 2026 notices, Anesthesiology applicants had to be 18–25, master's applicants had to be under 35, and PhD applicants had to be under 40. A different university or program may publish different rules.

You may apply for CSC and Jiangsu funding in parallel, but you cannot hold two incompatible Chinese government awards for the same study period. If both succeed, ask the university which award you must accept.

The exact checklist varies, but a current 2026 university example asks for:

• passport identity page;
• diploma or expected-graduation certificate;
• academic transcripts;
• language evidence;
• non-criminal record;
• Foreigner Physical Examination Form;
• financial-guarantee evidence;
• study or research plan and recommendation letters for postgraduate study;
• program-specific tests, portfolio, supervisor letter, or interview where required.

Use the host's own checklist. Validity periods, translation, notarization, file-size, and deposit rules can make an otherwise strong application incomplete.

No. CSC is a national Chinese Government Scholarship route administered through the China Scholarship Council. The Jiangsu Government Scholarship is a provincial award with its own host list, quotas, values, and application instructions.

Applying to both can protect your funding plan, but a provincial award should be treated as an alternative, not something automatically stacked on top of CSC.

Yes, if the host university's Jiangsu application window is still open. The tracks are separate. You just cannot hold incompatible government scholarships for the same study period.

Use these three starting points:

• Jiangsu Provincial Department of Education: 2026 scholarship notice and university channels
• Official 2026 university list, page 1 (pages 2 and 3 are linked there)
• Official 2020 notice confirming the name change

Then move to your chosen university's current brochure and portal. Do not pay an agent for a “guaranteed Jasmine seat”; the provincial government and university control nomination.

Do not assume it is. Some awards are for new students, some are annual, and some are decided again for continuing students based on academic performance. The official 2026 XZMU postgraduate brochure, for example, separates new-student awards from a CNY 30,000 continuing-student category.

Check the duration, annual-review rule, and renewal amount in the final award letter before accepting. If you want help comparing CSC, Jiangsu, and university-funded options, our application shortlisting service can map the routes without promising an award.
