FAQ
Can I apply for several scholarships at once?
Yes: you can generally apply for several different programs at once to maximise your chances. However, you cannot hold the CSC (Chinese Government Scholarship) together with provincial or city government scholarships at the same time. Always check each program's rules, as some awards cannot be combined.
