Funding route on this profile

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

Agency number recorded: 10681. Confirm it in the current Type B notice before submitting.

Application fee

The recorded application fee is CNY 250. The registration fee for new students is CNY 250, from the university's own fees page: 新生报名费 250元. The same page states that self-funded applicants must remit tuition to the university's designated bank account, that other fees need not be remitted, that the remittance receipt must be uploaded to the application system, and that the university will only process an application once it has confirmed receipt of the application fee. This is the application (registration) fee only; annual tuition is recorded under tuition. The 2026 CSC high-level postgraduate guide was published through WeChat, and the fee exemption terms for scholarship holders are not quoted from a citable page.

Programmes
The 2026 international bachelor's programme application window for self-funded students ran 1 December 2025 to 10 June 2026, filed on the Yunnan Normal University international student platform at ynnu.at0086.cn/student.
Entry requirements
Bachelor's applicants must be aged 18 to 25 and hold a high school diploma or equivalent; the notice states the university offers 15 bachelor's programmes for international students and that groups of 20 or more students from the same cohort form their own class.
Application fee
The registration fee for new students is CNY 250, and self-funded applicants must remit tuition to the university's designated bank account and upload the receipt to the application system before the university will process the application.
CSC agency number
The university's CSC institution code is 10681, with scholarship programme category B, as stated in its Chinese Government Scholarship application guide: 云南师范大学机构代码：10681 留学项目种类：B.
Tuition
Chinese Government Scholarship coverage at Yunnan Normal University: tuition waiver, free on-campus accommodation, a living allowance of CNY 2,500 per month for bachelor's students, CNY 3,000 per month for master's students and general scholars, and CNY 3,500 per month for doctoral students and senior scholars, plus comprehensive medical insurance.
Age requirement
Chinese Government Scholarship eligibility requires applicants to be non-Chinese citizens in good health, not currently studying in China, with a previous graduate of a Chinese institution needing more than one year since graduation; master's applicants need a bachelor's degree and must be under 35, and doctoral applicants need a master's degree and must be under 40.
Application fee
The Yunnan Provincial Government Scholarship covers registration fee, tuition, basic teaching materials, on-campus accommodation, a living allowance and comprehensive medical insurance, and is aimed primarily at Belt and Road, South Asian and Southeast Asian countries while remaining open to others.
Scholarship
The university publishes separate provincial awards for overseas students of Chinese origin and an RCEP good-neighbourly talent scholarship, in addition to the International Chinese Language Teachers Scholarship.
Verified fact
Fees are normally collected in RMB; where a foreign-currency transfer is unavoidable it is settled at the prevailing exchange rate and any shortfall must be paid after enrolment.
Medical insurance
International students must arrange their own medical insurance through an institution approved by the National Financial Regulatory Administration before registration and bring the policy to campus; typical premiums are about CNY 400 per person for half a year and CNY 800 per person per year.
Tuition notes
Annual tuition for international students from the university's official fees page. Bachelor's: liberal arts CNY 15,000 per year, sciences CNY 16,000 per year. Master's: liberal arts CNY 17,000 per year, sciences CNY 18,500 per year. Doctoral: liberal arts CNY 19,000 per year, sciences CNY 21,000 per year.

Accommodation is CNY 2,400 per year per person in a two-person room, CNY 1,600 in a three-person room and CNY 1,200 in a four-person room. These are per-year or per-semester charges and are never an application fee.
Application dates — official notice audit
The 2026 bachelor guide sets Yunnan Provincial Scholarship deadline February 6, 2026, Chinese-origin aid deadline June 30, 2026, and ICLTS March 1–May 15, 2026. All are closed. CSC Type A deadlines come from the embassy/dispatching authority. Chinese-origin aid is partial: either tuition and registration waived with other costs self-paid, or half tuition plus campus accommodation with other costs self-paid. These dates do not establish a 2027 call. Source: https://lx.ynnu.edu.cn/info/1266/1006.htm
Recorded route dates — 2026 undergraduate dates and current next-cycle status
The dated 2026 official international undergraduate guide, published 2025-12-24, gives self-funded bachelor window 2025-12-01 to 2026-06-10, plus scholarship dates below. It specifies fall entry, usually registration in late August/early September. The official site/search index checked 2026-10-02 continues to surface 2026 guides and did not surface a 2027 international-student bachelor guide; next-cycle exact dates therefore remain unknown. These dates retain the notice’s recorded cycle; they are not a new application forecast. Source: https://lx.ynnu.edu.cn/info/1266/1006.htm

Application timing and source scope

The 2026 bachelor guide sets Yunnan Provincial Scholarship deadline February 6, 2026, Chinese-origin aid deadline June 30, 2026, and ICLTS March 1–May 15, 2026. All are closed. The university's 2026 international student (language student) prospectus, published 4 January 2026 and reopened 3 October 2026, separately sets the spring 2027 (March) non-degree language window at 1 September 2026 to 15 November 2026, which is open, and the autumn 2026 window at 1 December 2025 to 10 June 2026, which has closed. CSC Type A deadlines come from the embassy/dispatching authority. Chinese-origin aid is partial: either tuition and registration waived with other costs self-paid, or half tuition plus campus accommodation with other costs self-paid. The language prospectus publishes no scholarship deadline against the spring 2027 intake and does not restate the 31 October 2026 International Chinese Language Teachers Scholarship date, so these bachelor-guide dates do not establish a 2027 scholarship call.

Master CSC routes

The same master notice requires applications in both CSC and the university system for Type B, with a February 20, 2026 deadline. Type A uses the dispatching authority’s dates. It does not establish the Type B agency code or mandatory submission order.

Reference: 2026. Confirm the latest notice for the same course and route before applying.

Read the university's procedure
  1. 1

    Choose your program and intake

    Check Yunnan Normal University's current prospectus for your degree, teaching language, eligibility and deadline. Arrange supervisor contact or pre-admission first when the program requires it.

    Read official admission instructions
  2. 2

    Prepare your documents

    Use the checklist below, then compare it with your program's required documents. Prepare any signed forms, translations and referee submissions before starting the final application.

  3. 3

    Follow the portal order in the Type B notice

    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. Where both systems are required, submit to both; use a CSC-only process only when the official notice explicitly specifies it.

    Read official admission instructions
  4. 4

    Complete the required application systems

    Use the university and CSC instructions below in the order specified by your program. Keep names, degree, major and teaching language consistent across the forms. Check submission status in every required system.

    Open the program's university portal
  5. 5

    Track decisions and respond to requests

    Check your portal and email for missing-document requests, interviews and results. If a form is returned, correct it and resubmit. Keep admission and scholarship decisions separate; follow the final offer for acceptance, registration and original-document checks.

See annotated portal walkthroughs

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.

Application templates
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.
  5. Preview the whole application. Follow the fee instructions, submit the form and check that the system acknowledges submission. Saving a draft does not submit it.
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: 10681. For Type B, match it to Yunnan Normal University in CSC. Type A uses your dispatching authority's number instead.
