Northwest A&F University published dated windows for the 2026 and 2026/2027 intakes on its International College admissions portal (gjs.nwafu.edu.cn). The Chinese Government Scholarship Type B university-administered programme closed on February 28, 2026. Self-funded bachelor's, master's and doctoral applications all closed on May 31, 2026, and the Chinese Language Program (汉语言进修生) closed earlier on May 15, 2026. The university's own NWAFU International Student Scholarship closed on May 31, 2026, and both APFNet scholarships — the master's and the doctoral programme — closed on May 31, 2026. The Uzbekistan Branch master's programme runs to July 15 annually. The Chinese Government Scholarship Type A national programme carries no university-set date: NWAFU states it generally runs from early January to early April and directs applicants to consult their home-country dispatching authority. The dated 2026 and 2026/2027 university-set application windows listed above have closed; this does not establish a universal Type A country cutoff, and no 2027 call was located in the recorded review as of September 17, 2026.

Fee note: Northwest A&F University's 2026 master's admission guide states under 三、申请费、学费 (III. Application fee and tuition) that 申请费:人民币400元。无论录取与否,不予退还。 — the application fee is CNY 400 and is not refunded whether or not the applicant is admitted. The 2026 CSC Type B notice gives the same figure in the form 第四步:缴纳报名费400元人民币(或75美元)— pay a registration fee of CNY 400 (or USD 75) — charged after passing preliminary qualification review. The guides list tuition separately as a distinct item below the application fee, so the CNY 400 is the application fee and not tuition.
