Exclusivity of CSC award

The 2026 CSC High Level Postgraduate brochure states that Chinese Government Scholarship students must not simultaneously hold other scholarships established by Chinese governments at any level or by the admitting institution (one-off rewards excluded), that discovery cancels the CSC award and requires repayment, and that deliberate concealment additionally bars application for three years. Applicants who have already applied to another university in the CSC system must not apply again to Shenyang Normal University.

No agent

The 2026 CSC High Level Postgraduate brochure states that Shenyang Normal University '不会委托任何个人或中介代为受理中国政府奖学金申请' — it does not entrust any individual or intermediary agent to process Chinese Government Scholarship applications.

Living allowance is CNY 2,500 per month for undergraduates, one-academic-year and one-semester trainees, and CNY 3,000 per month for master's students in International Chinese Language Education. The university purchases the comprehensive medical insurance.

CLT repetition rule

The 2026 CLT general guide states that one-semester and one-academic-year programmes in principle do not admit applicants who have held the same type of scholarship within the previous three years, and that degree students must pass the annual review.

Annual review

CSC and CLT recipients must take part in the annual review after enrolment, which determines whether the award continues, is suspended or is cancelled in the following academic year.
