Application fee

The application-fee status has not been verified for the current route. Xiangtan University publishes no application fee for international students. The 湘潭大学2026年国际学生招生简章 (gjjlc.xtu.edu.cn/info/1024/2753.htm) carries a 收费标准 section listing only four priced items: tuition per year of 14,000 CNY for Chinese-language students, 14,000 CNY for bachelor's, 18,000 CNY for master's and 23,000 CNY for doctoral students; insurance of 400 CNY per semester or 800 CNY per year; accommodation of 900 CNY per month per person for a single room or 600 CNY per month per person for a double room, with water, electricity and gas borne by the student; and no application, registration or admission charge at all. The English mirror, 2026 Xiangtan University Admission Brochure for International Students, gives the same list under 'Study Cost' with no application fee, and the superseded 2025 Chinese and English brochures are identical in this respect. The 12-item application materials list names no fee. The only occurrence of the word 注册费 (registration fee) anywhere in these documents is in the description of what the Hunan Provincial Belt and Road Language Student Scholarship covers — 含注册费、学费、基本教材费、住宿费、综合保险费 — that is, the provincial award pays a registration fee that the university itself never prices, which is not evidence either that a self-funded applicant pays one or that the application is free. Accordingly the status is unknown rather than confirmed-free: no official page states an application fee, and an omitted fee is never treated as proof of a free application.

Published dates and unconfirmed windows

Application timing and source scope

Xiangtan University (湘潭大学) publishes a dated window for every intake inside the individual 招生简章 on its International Exchange Office site (gjjlc.xtu.edu.cn/lxxd/zsxx.htm) rather than as one self-funded deadline. For the 2026/2027 cycle: (1) the general 湘潭大学2026年国际学生招生简章 sets the self-funded degree-programme closing date at 2026年4月30日 and the non-degree Chinese language-training programme closing date at 2026年5月31日, and it states that scholarship applicants follow the deadline in the applicable scholarship brochure instead — both dates had passed by 30 September 2026. (2) The 2026 Chinese Government Scholarship High-Level Postgraduate Program (Type B) brochure, 湘潭大学2026年中国政府奖学金“高水平研究生”项目招生简章, filed through studyinchina.csc.edu.cn with Program Category Type B and agency number 10530, sets its closing date at 2026年3月1日 — passed. (3) The 2026 Hunan Provincial Belt and Road Language Student Scholarship brochure, 2026年湘潭大学“一带一路”语言生奖学金招生简章, dated 14 November 2025, sets its filing closing date at 2025年12月20日 for the intake beginning March 2026 — passed. (4) The 2026 International Chinese Language Teachers Scholarship notice, 2026年湘潭大学国际中文教师奖学金申请办法, dated 3 April 2026, carries no dated closing stage on the page itself. (5) The newest documents, 湘潭大学2026-2027学年中国政府奖学金“丝绸之路”奖学金项目招生简章 (published 30 April 2026) and 湘潭大学2026年湖南省“一带一路”沿线国家语言生奖学金招生简章 (published 13 May 2026), state no deadline in their page text — the bodies resolve to attachments only, and the attachments published are application forms and the physical-examination form, not a dated fee or deadline table. The standing 奖学金项目 (SCHOLARSHIPS) page records the recurring pattern rather than a date: the China Scholarship Council award runs 每年1月至4月, filing either with the Chinese embassy in the applicant's country or directly with Xiangtan University, and is for master's and doctoral applicants only; the Hunan Belt and Road language scholarship is filed directly with the university 每年3月至5月; the International Chinese Language Teachers Scholarship opens on cis.chinese.cn from March each year. Every named 2026/2027 date above has closed and no 2027/2028 intake notice had been published as of 30 September 2026 — the 招生信息 page's most recent items are the two 30 April and 13 May 2026 brochures, and the 2027 items elsewhere on the site are outbound exchange programmes for Xiangtan's own students. As of 2 October 2026 all dated 2026/2027 windows described above have closed. The university has not published a verified 2027/2028 intake window. Recurring seasonal text is background only and is not a confirmed next-cycle deadline. The 2026/2027 Silk Road Type B call and the 13 May 2026 Hunan language-award notice have no deadline in the accessible page text; their attachments are forms, not a dated applicant deadline. Confirm dates with the international office before applying.

CSC graduate

Apply first in the university system and choose CSC Type B. Submit the CSC application using agency 10530 by March 1, 2026. Prepare passport, notarized diploma or expected-graduation proof, transcripts, language evidence, a study plan exceeding 1,000 words, two academic references, physical examination and criminal-record documents, and a self-introduction video under 50 MB. A doctoral study plan needs the Chinese supervisor's signature; the supervisor acceptance form is listed if available. University review considers academic, research, language and interview performance. University nomination or pre-admission does not guarantee the final CSC award.

Reference: 2026 High-Level; closed. Confirm the latest notice for the same course and route before applying.

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.

How to fill the university application

Follow the submission method in your programme's notice. The steps below apply when it requires an online form; email and paper applications follow their separate source-linked instructions above.

  1. Open the university link for your degree level. On an admissions website, find the international-student application entry, then register or sign in. Button names vary between systems.
  2. Choose the correct entry year, degree, teaching language and program. Read its requirements before selecting your funding option.
  3. Enter personal information as it appears in your passport. List education and employment dates accurately, and enter a reliable email address.
  4. Complete the study plan and referee fields. Upload each document to its matching slot; enter a CSC application number only if your route asks for one.

How to fill the CSC application
  1. Open the CSC portal below and register or sign in. Complete your personal details before starting the scholarship application.
  2. Select the application category specified in the current scholarship call. Type A commonly uses a dispatching authority and Type B a university; confirm the exact category and agency number in that route's current notice and check the receiving institution displayed by the system.
  3. Select the degree category, teaching language, major and study period specified by the eligible program. Keep these consistent with your university application.
  4. Upload the requested documents, review all fields and submit. Download the completed application form; sign and upload it to the university or dispatching-authority system when instructed.
  5. Save your application number and a copy of the submitted form. If you withdraw to edit, submit again before the deadline and tell the receiving office if it already began reviewing your application.

University agency number on record: 10530. For Type B, match it to Xiangtan University in CSC. Type A uses your dispatching authority's number instead.
