International Chinese Language Teachers Scholarship, one-semester research programme, March 2027 entry
2027 spring · language programme
Funding: Chinese-language teaching
Deadline: Oct 31, 2026
Programme details
the university's 2027 spring International Chinese Language Teachers Scholarship notice, published 18 September 2026 and reopened 1 October 2026, gives the application period as 17 September 2026 to 31 October 2026 for March 2027 entry, funded for 5 months. Two conditions differ from other host universities and must not be generalised: the language threshold is HSK level 3 (180 points) with an HSKK score, and the notice states that applicants whose passports carry an X1 or X2 visa are not admitted (不录取护照上有 X1、X2签证者). Eligibility: aged 16-35 as at 1 September 2026, relaxed to 45 for in-service Chinese language teachers, with bachelor's scholarship applicants generally not over 25. The notice lists tuition, accommodation, a living allowance and comprehensive medical insurance but does not restate the amounts, so no figure is quoted from this page. The one-semester programme in principle does not admit applicants who have held the same scholarship type within the past three years
