Published dates and unconfirmed windows

Application timing and source scope

For the 2026 intake, Huazhong Agricultural University's How to Apply page states an application period of 1 November 2025 to 27 February 2026, and gives that same window for both the Chinese Government Scholarship and the Huazhong Agricultural University Scholarship. Both windows have closed. The page is the university's current published schedule and names no other intake; applicants for the next cycle apply through the CSC online system at studyinchina.csc.edu.cn quoting HZAU's agency number 10504, or through the HZAU online application system for the university scholarship. The Bilateral Program route is handled by each country's dispatching authority, whose deadline is set nationally rather than by HZAU, and the university publishes no separate provincial scholarship deadline. The application period shown is for the 2026 graduate intake and the corresponding CSC/university scholarship routes; it is closed and does not establish undergraduate or future-cycle deadlines. The 2026 Type B graduate route uses agency number 10504. CSC Bilateral undergraduate consideration is a Type A route whose deadline is set by the applicant's home-country authority. Do not apply the graduate Type B stipend or code to HZAU undergraduate applicants.

    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.

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.
