University website — locate the current award noticeHistorical university scholarship for international master’s and doctoral applicants
The university’s 2025 scholarship guide described a full scholarship for master’s and doctoral students. It waived registration fee, tuition and accommodation and provided CNY 15,000 per academic year for master’s students or CNY 20,000 per academic year for doctoral students. The guide instructed applicants to submit its scholarship form with the admission application materials; therefore it shared that cycle’s admission submission process. The 2026 graduate prospectus does not publish scholarship terms, and no 2026/2027 or 2027/2028 university-award call or CSC route was confirmed. These 2025 award terms and process are historical, not an active offer.
Reference: 2025 graduate scholarship guide; closed and not confirmed for 2026/2027. Confirm the latest notice for the same course and route before applying.
