◆Hidden Gem

The historical 2026–2027 autumn guide offers first-year undergraduate and Chinese-preparatory entrants a half-tuition Freshmen Scholarship for at most one year, against annual tuition of CNY 8,400; later funding requires annual selection. The separate historical 2026 Yunnan Provincial Government Scholarship lists CNY 35,000/year for undergraduates and CNY 40,000/year for master’s students. No application fee is stated in the reviewed autumn guide, and these past award rules do not guarantee funding for a new cycle.

Document checklist and upload instructions

Use the document list for your exact program. Prepare these common items, then add any scholarship-specific forms:

  • Identity: passport information page and photograph. Copy your name, birth date and passport number exactly into each application.
  • Education: diploma or official expected-graduation certificate, transcripts and any required degree authentication. Include the original language and certified translations where requested.
  • Language: the required HSK, IELTS, TOEFL or accepted alternative. A medium-of-instruction letter replaces a test only if the program allows it.
  • Academic materials: study plan or research proposal; graduate recommendation letters; supervisor or pre-admission letter when required. Some systems send referees a private submission link.
  • Additional requirements: CSCA results for applicable undergraduate routes; portfolio for relevant arts programs; medical form, police clearance, financial guarantee or guardian documents when listed. Check validity periods before arranging time-sensitive documents.

Scan each complete document clearly. Use the file type and size limit shown beside its upload field; combine multi-page documents only where the system permits. Open every uploaded file to check legibility, page order, signatures and stamps. Keep a copy of everything you submit.

Language requirement
For the 2026–2027 autumn intake, undergraduate applicants needed high-school graduation or equivalent, age 18–35 and HSK 4; the Chinese text says 180分以上. Preparatory applicants could be no older than 35 and organised-class short-term applicants no older than 55.

Formalities are paid to the relevant agencies at arrival, at their actual current rates. No application-fee amount or waiver is printed in that fee section.
Tuition
The university's own school-level scholarship admits first-year preparatory and undergraduate students as half-scholarship students covering half of tuition for a maximum of one year, after which they become self-funded; a separate Annual Scholarship is reviewed once per academic year from the second year, with preparatory-then-undergraduate students eligible for four reviews and other undergraduates for at most three.
Tuition
The 2026 Yunnan Provincial Government Scholarship for overseas students funds preparatory and visiting students at 30,000 yuan per year for one year, undergraduates at 35,000 yuan per year for 4-5 years, and master's students at 40,000 yuan per year for 3 years, covering tuition, living expenses and insurance; its application window ran from 3 December 2025 to 11 January 2026.

Physical examination
For Honghe’s historical 2026–2027 autumn portal route, CN requires original qualification/transcript scans and notarized translations for non-Chinese/English records; EN additionally describes academic, police and family financial records as notarized and includes a blood-test report. Both list a passport valid over one year, applicable visa/stamp pages, photo, qualification/transcripts, undergraduate HSK, medical/police evidence and financial guarantee. CN medical/police records and financial proof are within six months. Confirm the bilingual document differences; bring originals or notarized copies for arrival checks.
Tuition notes
Tuition for international students at Honghe University is 8,400 yuan per academic year, stated in the 2026-2027 autumn semester enrollment guide (学费:8400元/学年, English: "Tuition: RMB 8400/academic year"). The guide also notes that preparatory students who exceed one year without reaching the required Chinese level pay the current Chinese preparatory tuition standard, then 8,400 yuan per year per student. Accommodation is a separate charge of 1,200 yuan per academic year for a four-person room or 800 yuan for a six-person room. The Yunnan Provincial Government Scholarship funds 30,000-40,000 yuan per year depending on level, covering tuition, living expenses and insurance. Tuition is NOT the application fee.
