Good to know
- • Coverage is a full package: tuition, on-campus accommodation, a monthly stipend, and comprehensive medical insurance.
- • It is a separate, self-contained award applied for through chinese.cn, and each award carries its own exclusivity rules. The CSC's own management measures bar holders from receiving another government scholarship at the same time, so confirm the current rule with both the host institution and the CSC notice before combining routes.
- • Age band is generally 16–35, relaxed to 45 for in-service Chinese-language teachers and generally no more than 25 for bachelor's scholarship applicants; valid HSK/HSKK scores are mandatory and exact score thresholds vary by program and year.
