Application dates, fees and sources
The most recent dated international-student application window published on 暨南大学's own pages is for the 2026 intake (academic year 2026 entry), in the official '暨南大学2026年招收华人及其他外籍学生（来华留学生）简章' published 2025-12-05 and its English mirror 'Jinan University Application Guide for International Students (2026)' published 2026-01-16. Two pathways were published: (1) 申请审核入学 (Application Review Admission) — online registration 15 January – 28 February 2026, and again 1 April – 31 May 2026; (2) 两校联招考试 (Jinan University / Huaqiao University Joint Entrance Examination) — online registration 1–15 March 2026, on-site verification 19–27 March 2026 (by appointment), examination 30–31 May 2026. Both 2026 windows have closed and, per the 简章 itself, '上述日期及事项或有修改，将在暨南大学本科招生网公布' (dates may be modified and will be announced on the JNU undergraduate admissions site). As of 2026-09-15 NO 2027 (or later) international-student application window has been published on 暨南大学's own pages: the newest item on the 港澳台侨留学生招生 > 招生简章/政策规定 listing (https://zsb.jnu.edu.cn/40322/list.htm) is dated 2026-05-22, and the graduate portal's newest international item is 2026-05-12. The 2026 简章 was published in early December 2025, so a 2027 counterpart would historically be expected around November–December 2026, but no such notice exists yet and none is invented here. This window is NOT open. The separate 2026 Chinese Government Scholarship Type B High-Level Postgraduate route is graduate-only: Jinan University applications ran 22 January–3 March 2026, and the CSC final submission deadline was 24 March 2026, using agency/admissions code 10559. That round is closed. The university did not publish 2027/28 dates in the reviewed notice set.
For Jinan University, refer to the current official admissions notice for opening and closing dates by program and intake. Dates from a previous intake should not be used as the next intake's deadline. Directory-wide opening checks were last completed September 14, 2026.
Fee note: Published in the official 2026 简章 (https://zsb.jnu.edu.cn/2025/1205/c40322a847522/page.htm), section 六、收费标准, item 3. Exact wording: "3. 报名费： 人民币500元/人。" The same 简章 states the fee is non-refundable: "报名费一旦缴交，恕不退还。" The English 2026 guide mirrors this at "Once the registration fee is paid, it is non-refundable." For reference only, the university's own English undergraduate site (https://admission.jnu.edu.cn/, stale — footer 'Copyright © 2017') says "New students will need to pay the application Fee（RMB 500）." This is a REQUIRED fee of CNY 500, not a free application.

Prepare your documents
Use the checklist below, then compare it with your program's required documents. Prepare any signed forms, translations and referee submissions before starting the final application.
- 3
Follow the portal order in the Type B notice
If it asks for the CSC form in the university system, finish CSC first and upload that form. If it asks for university admission or recommendation first, complete that stage before CSC. Where both systems are required, submit to both; use a CSC-only process only when the official notice explicitly specifies it.
Read official admission instructions - 4
Complete the required application systems
Use the university and CSC instructions below in the order specified by your program. Keep names, degree, major and teaching language consistent across the forms. Check submission status in every required system.

See annotated portal walkthroughs
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.
Application templatesHow to fill the university application
Follow the submission method in your programme's notice. The steps below apply when it requires an online form; email and paper applications follow their separate source-linked instructions above.
- Open the university link for your degree level. On an admissions website, find the international-student application entry, then register or sign in. Button names vary between systems.
- Choose the correct entry year, degree, teaching language and program. Read its requirements before selecting your funding option.
- Enter personal information as it appears in your passport. List education and employment dates accurately, and enter a reliable email address.
- Complete the study plan and referee fields. Upload each document to its matching slot; enter a CSC application number only if your route asks for one.
- Preview the whole application. Follow the fee instructions, submit the form and check that the system acknowledges submission. Saving a draft does not submit it.
How to fill the CSC application
- Open the CSC portal below and register or sign in. Complete your personal details before starting the scholarship application.
- Select the application category specified in the current scholarship call. Type A commonly uses a dispatching authority and Type B a university; confirm the exact category and agency number in that route's current notice and check the receiving institution displayed by the system.
- Select the degree category, teaching language, major and study period specified by the eligible program. Keep these consistent with your university application.
- Upload the requested documents, review all fields and submit. Download the completed application form; sign and upload it to the university or dispatching-authority system when instructed.
- Save your application number and a copy of the submitted form. If you withdraw to edit, submit again before the deadline and tell the receiving office if it already began reviewing your application.
University agency number on record: 10559. For Type B, match it to Jinan University in CSC. Type A uses your dispatching authority's number instead.

University background, academic strengths and sources
Founded in 1906 in Nanjing (as Jinan Academy) and later relocated to Guangzhou, it is the first Chinese university to recruit foreign students and remains one of China's largest hosts of overseas Chinese, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan students. It is a Project 211 and Double First-Class Construction university. Fields listed on this profile include School of Management, School of Medicine / First Clinical Medical School, College of Pharmacy, School of International Studies. For 2027-2028 CSC applications, check the current university notice for eligible programs, funding categories, deadlines and required application systems before preparing documents or paying a fee.
Jinan University (JNU) in Guangzhou, founded in 1906 as Jinan Academy in Nanjing, is the first Chinese university to have recruited students from abroad and remains the country's flagship institution for overseas Chinese education. Do not confuse it with the University of Jinan in Shandong province; this is Ji'nan Daxue (暨南大学), a Project 211 and Double First-Class university whose campuses host an established overseas and international student community. For a CSC applicant, that history translates into an administration that has been processing foreign student files for longer than any other university in the country.
Academically, JNU is strongest in clinical medicine and pharmacy, journalism and communication , economics and management, law, and Chinese language and overseas Chinese education. The International School, founded in 2001 and taught entirely in English, runs nine bachelor programs including a well-established MBBS plus English-taught master's tracks such as China Studies, while most other graduate degrees are Chinese-taught with HSK requirements. Confirm the language of your exact program early.
Apply through the CSC portal using agency number 10559 alongside the university's own system at lxlz.jnu.edu.cn. JNU's most recent published intake window is the 2026 one: application-review admission ran 15 January – 28 February 2026 and 1 April – 31 May 2026, and both have closed; no 2027 window had been published as of 15 September 2026. On fees, the university's 2026 prospectus states an application fee of CNY 500 per person, non-refundable once paid, so budget for it and confirm the position for your route inside the portal. Competition is real in medicine, business, and journalism, so a specific study plan matters.
Guangzhou is southern China's great trading metropolis: humid subtropical, green through winter, and connected to Hong Kong, Shenzhen, and the whole Pearl River Delta by dense high-speed rail and metro. Living costs sit in the Tier 1 band of roughly CNY 2,500-4,000 per month, with any accommodation or stipend benefit determined by the selected award, and the city's Cantonese food culture and long international heritage make it one of the easiest big Chinese cities to settle into. Verify current deadlines and program lists on JNU's official admission pages before you apply.

Official websiteJinan University CSC scholarship FAQ
Is Jinan University in Guangzhou the same as University of Jinan?
No, and this confusion costs applicants real mistakes every year. Jinan University (Ji'nan Daxue, 暨南大学) is a Project 211 university in Guangzhou, Guangdong, while the University of Jinan is a separate institution in Jinan city, Shandong province. They have different agency numbers, portals, and programs, so double-check you are on jnu.edu.cn pages and using agency number 10559 before submitting anything.
How realistic is a CSC place at Jinan University?
Jinan University does not publish the matching application and award totals needed for a CSC acceptance rate. Applicants should prepare a focused study plan and follow current supervisor-contact requirements for research degrees in medicine, business, journalism, or other fields.
Does Jinan University accept CSC Type B applications?
Jinan University appears in our directory based on prior CSC host or program evidence. For 2027-2028 Type B participation, consult the university's current international-admissions notice and confirm the application channel and Agency Number before applying.
Is the CSC scholarship at Jinan University fully funded?
A full Chinese Government Scholarship normally covers tuition, accommodation or a housing subsidy, medical insurance, and a monthly stipend. That does not prove Jinan University will offer a full Type B award in 2027-2028: some routes are partial or unavailable, so confirm the current notice and your final award letter.
What is the application deadline for Jinan University?
The latest official information checked September 15, 2026 says: The most recent dated international-student application window published on 暨南大学's own pages is for the 2026 intake (academic year 2026 entry), in the official '暨南大学2026年招收华人及其他外籍学生（来华留学生）简章' published 2025-12-05 and its English mirror 'Jinan University Application Guide for International Students (2026)' published 2026-01-16. Two pathways were published: (1) 申请审核入学 (Application Review Admission) — online registration 15 January – 28 February 2026, and again 1 April – 31 May 2026; (2) 两校联招考试 (Jinan University / Huaqiao University Joint Entrance Examination) — online registration 1–15 March 2026, on-site verification 19–27 March 2026 (by appointment), examination 30–31 May 2026. Both 2026 windows have closed and, per the 简章 itself, '上述日期及事项或有修改，将在暨南大学本科招生网公布' (dates may be modified and will be announced on the JNU undergraduate admissions site). As of 2026-09-15 NO 2027 (or later) international-student application window has been published on 暨南大学's own pages: the newest item on the 港澳台侨留学生招生 > 招生简章/政策规定 listing (https://zsb.jnu.edu.cn/40322/list.htm) is dated 2026-05-22, and the graduate portal's newest international item is 2026-05-12. The 2026 简章 was published in early December 2025, so a 2027 counterpart would historically be expected around November–December 2026, but no such notice exists yet and none is invented here. This window is NOT open. The separate 2026 Chinese Government Scholarship Type B High-Level Postgraduate route is graduate-only: Jinan University applications ran 22 January–3 March 2026, and the CSC final submission deadline was 24 March 2026, using agency/admissions code 10559. That round is closed. The university did not publish 2027/28 dates in the reviewed notice set. Check the current notice for your degree, route, and intake before applying.

Does Jinan University charge an application fee?
Published in the official 2026 简章 (https://zsb.jnu.edu.cn/2025/1205/c40322a847522/page.htm), section 六、收费标准, item 3. Exact wording: "3. 报名费： 人民币500元/人。" The same 简章 states the fee is non-refundable: "报名费一旦缴交，恕不退还。" The English 2026 guide mirrors this at "Once the registration fee is paid, it is non-refundable." For reference only, the university's own English undergraduate site (https://admission.jnu.edu.cn/, stale — footer 'Copyright © 2017') says "New students will need to pay the application Fee（RMB 500）." This is a REQUIRED fee of CNY 500, not a free application.
