Funding route on this profile

The profile includes CSC-related application guidance for Northeast Forestry University. Type B participation, eligible programs, and deadlines must be confirmed in the current university call.

Agency number recorded: 10225. Confirm it in the current Type B notice before submitting.

Application fee

The recorded application fee is CNY 400. Northeast Forestry University charges an application fee of CNY 400 per person (申请费:400元/人) for international applicants, stated identically on the Chinese and English pages for the bachelor's (本科生项目/Bachelor), master's (硕士生项目/Master) and doctoral (博士生项目/Doctor) programmes for 2026 entry. The Chinese Language programme page states a separate registration fee of CNY 260 per person (报名费:260元人民币/人). None of the pages read states whether either fee is refundable, and no refund rule is published, so refundability is not established by any official source opened at this check. The Chinese Government Scholarship page states that full scholarship holders are exempt from tuition, accommodation and the registration fee (免交学费、住宿费和报名费), which confirms a charge exists for non-scholarship applicants.

Tuition notes
English-taught tuition is higher than Chinese-taught at every degree level. The bachelor's programme list marks almost all majors as Chinese-taught; exchange-programme tuition is CNY 400 per person per semester for insurance only (no tuition stated). Note the site's URL naming is misleading: the page at /jjy/bksxm.htm is titled 本科生项目 (bachelor's) and the page at /jjy/bssxm.htm is titled 博士生项目 (doctoral) — the file name letters do not match the content, so pages must be identified by their heading, not their URL.
Accommodation
CNY 500 per person per month for a twin/double room; CNY 1,000 per person per month for a single room (identical on the bachelor's, master's, doctoral and Chinese Language pages).

Deposit
Not stated on any page read.
Residence permit
Not stated as a fee on any page read; the site has a dedicated 签证&居住证 (visa and residence permit) section but no fee is published on the pages opened.
Physical examination
Not stated as a fee. The Foreigner Physical Examination Form is a required application document with a six-month validity, but no charge is published.

All undergraduate applicants must take the China Scholastic Competency Assessment (CSCA), covering Professional Chinese, mathematics, physics and chemistry; applicants to English-taught undergraduate programmes do not take the Professional Chinese test. The NEFU Chinese page states the first CSCA test was set for 21 December 2025 with registration opening in November 2025, and subsequent tests in January, March, April, June and December each year.. Age: Chinese Government Scholarship page: bachelor's applicants under 25; master's applicants under 35; doctoral applicants under 40.

Published dates and unconfirmed windows

Application timing and source scope

For 2026 entry, NEFU's Chinese and English programme pages state that applicants must submit materials in the NEFU International Students' Enrollment System (https://istudy.nefu.edu.cn/) before 30 June 2026; the bachelor's page gives the teaching calendar as autumn semester September 2026 – January 2027 and spring semester March 2027 – July 2027, while the master's and doctoral pages give autumn 2026年9月-2027年1月 and spring 2027年3月-2027年7月. That 30 June 2026 deadline has closed as of 29 September 2026. The Chinese Language programme page states registration deadlines of 30 June (for the 1 September – 15 July academic year and the 1 September – 15 January semester) and 30 December (for the 1 March – 15 July semester). The NEFU President Scholarship (东林校长奖学金) page states the scholarship application time as 'before 30 April' (奖学金申请时间为4月30日前) with the award lasting one year; that date is not labelled with an academic year, so the 30 April 2026 round has closed. The Chinese Government Scholarship page states applicants apply online each year between November and March to both the CSC and NEFU systems. The Scholarship Program for International Students from Eurasian Countries page states applicants must apply between November and February of the following year, simultaneously in the CSC system (selecting Type B, NEFU code 10225) and the NEFU system; that window is not labelled with an academic year and the November 2025 – February 2026 round has closed. The International Chinese Language Teachers Scholarship page publishes a dated deadline table by intake (see verifiedFacts): applications open from 1 March, and the published cut-offs are 15 April for July entry, 15 May for September entry, 15 September for December entry and 15 November for the following March entry — so the 15 April and 15 May 2026 cut-offs for the 2026 July and September intakes have closed, while the 15 September 2026 cut-off (for December 2026 entry) and the 15 November 2026 cut-off (for March 2027 entry) are the next to fall. No notice for the 2027 degree intake had been published at retrieval. President Scholarship deadline conflict: the English and Chinese award pages say applications are accepted before 30 April, while the formal revised management measure states annual acceptance from 1 March through 30 June. The official sources do not resolve which date controls; confirm the current deadline with the School of International Education. Do not silently choose one. The published date ranges for CSC and the Eurasian award are recurring guidance, not a confirmed 2027/28 call.

  4. 4

    Review your offer and costs

    Check tuition, accommodation, insurance, payment deadlines and any financial-guarantee requirement. Accept the offer through the university's stated process. A CSC application is not part of a purely self-funded route.

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.
