CNY 500 The 2026 admission brochures published by Shanxi University's School of International Education and Exchange state the application fee explicitly. The 2026 Chinese Government Scholarship brochure and the 2026 international graduate programme brochure both carry an itemised 'Expenses in China' (在华费用) table whose first line reads '申请费 500元/人 — 可接受现金和电子支付，费用不退' / 'Application Fee 500 — Cash & Online payment; Non-refundable'. That figure is the application fee only, per person and non-refundable. The same table separately lists tuition (master's RMB 22,000 per year and doctoral RMB 24,000 per year, following university tuition standards), medical insurance at RMB 800 per year, visa fee at RMB 800 per year, medical examination at RMB 500, and accommodation at RMB 300 per month for a master's triple room or RMB 500 per month for a doctoral double room; those are tuition, insurance, visa, medical and accommodation charges and are not the application fee. The application fee is well below the build's CNY 2,000 ceiling.

Published dates and unconfirmed windows
The 2026 bachelor guide gives December 1, 2025–June 30, 2026; applicants under 25 need a high-school diploma, average score at least 85, HSK 4 at 180 and CSCA submitted by June 30. The CSC Program page currently published by the School of International Education and Exchange is the 2025 cycle — Chinese Government Scholarship Program for International Students at Shanxi University 2025 — with application periods January 1, 2025 to March 30, 2025, with the pre-admitted name list reported to the China Scholarship Council before 31 March 2025 (page published 18 February 2025). This source is the historical 2025 call. A separate 2026 graduate CSC brochure and its April 9, 2026 index entry are retained in this profile’s prior-read evidence; its content was not recovered by the newer source check. No 2027 CSC application window is confirmed. The 2026 preparatory 1+4 call accepts March 1–June 30, 2026 for preparatory study September 2026–July 2027, followed by bachelor study September 2027–July 2031. These application rounds are closed; the cohort’s later degree start does not establish a separate 2027/28 CSC call.

Obtain a Shanxi professor’s recommendation and the required university acceptance letter. Apply in SXU’s portal under Degree Program–CSC, then CSC Type B, agency 10108. Admissions checks completeness and authenticity before departments arrange interviews by email or WeChat. Nominees receive pre-admission before CSC review; nomination is not a final award. Provide passport, degree/transcripts, CV, two references including one SXU professor, language evidence, CNY 20,000 funds, medical/police records and personal statement. The 2025 period was January 1–March 30. The scholarship section waives the application fee, but a general expenses table lists CNY 500; clarify before claiming payment is required.
