University application guide
How to apply to Lanzhou University of Finance and Economics
兰州财经大学
Lanzhou, Gansu, China
This guide brings together the application routes, published timing, submission methods, scholarship steps, documents, and source links recorded for Lanzhou University of Finance and Economics. Requirements can differ by degree, program, teaching language, and funding route. The university’s current notice controls the application.
Application fee
The application-fee status has not been verified for the current route. No application fee is published. The 2026 notice publishes 报名费：400元（一次性缴纳） — a one-time CNY 400 registration fee — and the university's own registration page makes 缴纳报名费400元 step ② of 报名注册, paid in person at enrolment registration on arrival alongside the admission letter, JW202 form and original documents. The separate 2026 Chinese Language Programme notice lists the same 报名费400元/人 for enrolled students. Because the charge falls at registration rather than at application, this record does not publish it as an application fee: the application-fee position is unknown, not free, and the CNY 400 is recorded under Costs as a registration fee.
