brkic Posted September 11, 2016 at 05:07 PM Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 at 05:07 PM According to 2016 Confucius Institute Scholarship Application Procedure Scholarship for One-Academic-Year Study Students is open to Confucius Institute (Classroom) students, overseas Chinese language teachers, Chinese language major students and excellent performers in HSK test. I want to ask, how can I apply if I belong to the last category? Anyone tried this way? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maurice501 Posted September 12, 2016 at 09:25 AM Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 at 09:25 AM @brkic I didn't apply for one year scholarship, just for a semester, but I also fell in the last category. I still needed a recommendation letter from a chinese teacher, I received one from mine in school, but everything else went the same way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jungleonthefloor Posted September 21, 2016 at 12:44 PM Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 at 12:44 PM Hey, this question might seem silly, but I am just about to submit my application for 2017 spring semester, and I was wondering how you guys uploded your signature?

New Members MathewW. Posted October 16, 2016 at 05:32 PM New Members Report Share Posted October 16, 2016 at 05:32 PM Hello, I've got a question. I was applying for the scolarship and was awarded from September 2016. Unfortunately, I went to the hospital and couldn't go. Now, can I again try to apply for the March 2017 scolarship? Are there any date limits? Thanks for the answers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoshinoumi Posted October 25, 2016 at 08:42 AM Report Share Posted October 25, 2016 at 08:42 AM @matheww from previous replies on this forum, you should be able to be awarded the scholarship if you told in advance and justified the reason for rejecting it previously.

艾墨本 Posted October 25, 2016 at 08:57 AM Report Share Posted October 25, 2016 at 08:57 AM Can you apply for the 1yr scholarship and start with the spring semester? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaudeama Posted November 8, 2016 at 07:08 PM Report Share Posted November 8, 2016 at 07:08 PM @艾墨本 I think you can. Also, does anyone know if you can apply twice in the same application period? I mean, if I apply for a one-year scholarship starting in march but don't get accepted can I apply again for a one-semester one also starting in March? I only scored 228 at HSK (I took it after barely more than a semester of learning chinese), so I think I would be accpeted for a one-semester one but I really would like a one-year scholarship even though I have close to zero chance to get one with my score.

LinZhenPu Posted November 17, 2016 at 11:11 AM Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 at 11:11 AM @Gaudeama Which HSK test did you take? And did you also take the HSKK? If so which level and how did you score? Unfortunately I don't think you can, because by the time you receive your rejection notice it will be past the deadline to apply. But, you could apply for a one semester scholarship and then apply for another one semester scholarship as there are two application intakes a year. If I were you, I would apply for the one-semester scholarship. If you barely manage to scrape through to the bottom of the list of one-year scholarship awardees, you're likely to not enjoy your experience at whatever university you get placed into (likely not to be your first two choices). Guys, I got 261 on the HSK3 and 86 on the HSKK 初级. How competitive does this make me? I will be applying with a recommendation letter from LaTrobe University Confucius Institute which is affiliated with Chongqing University. If I apply to Chongqing University I will be very likely to get in there and the teacher is also happy to recommend me to any other university. I'm a bit adverse to the hot weather and the strongly accented and dialectical language spoken on the streets in Chongqing. What would be the most competitive university that I stand a chance of being accepted into? I would love to study in Hangzhou so that I could regularly visit the beautiful West Lake District. Could I get into Zhe Da or perhaps Hangzhou Normal University? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

艾墨本 Posted November 23, 2016 at 04:06 AM Report Share Posted November 23, 2016 at 04:06 AM Honestly, no one has any idea how they determine "competitiveness" for theses scholarships. That's because it's never been stated. We all just stumble through it all and assume "more is better." A lot of it seems like just contacting the university, expressing interest, and making connections with the right people. Edit: I was told that applying as early as possible makes you more likely to get in. The application for next year opens in March. Have all your stuff ready before then and apply the day it opens. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The application for next year opens in March. Have all your stuff ready before then and apply the day it opens. I'm applying now for the March intake rather than next year's September intake. I suspect that many universities cannot accept people into the March intake. I might be wrong, but it's an important consideration to make. I know that Chongqing University accepts students into their March intake because I'm applying through the Confucius Institute of Chongqing University at Latrobe University.

LinZhenPu Posted November 24, 2016 at 12:49 PM Report Share Posted November 24, 2016 at 12:49 PM I've hit a nasty road block. The Confucius Institute teacher at Latrobe University Dong Pringrong cannot find my information in the system. He sent me an email 2 days ago saying "I presume you haven't uploaded any documents so far because I can't find any information about your passport, your VCE, and your HSK and HSKK Examination Score Reports on the website cis.chinese.cn." I assured him I uploaded all the documents and chosen his Conficus Institute 拉筹伯大学孔子学院 as the recommending institute. He checked again, and can see other students' applications, but still could not find my information. He checked again today, and still could not find me. He says there's no problem with Hanban's website because he can see some other students' applications. Today, I reuploaded all of my documents afresh and sent Pingrong the preview of my application form, saying that if he still can't find me in the system then it really is the application website system's problem. I'll call Pingrong using Skype first thing tomorrow morning to see what he says. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaudeama Posted November 27, 2016 at 12:42 PM Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 at 12:42 PM @LinZhenPu Thanks for the help, I'll decided to apply for one-semester On the other hand, I have another problem: I can't apply for the 2017 spring semester with my old account beacause it's still showing my previous (declined) application, yet when I try to register a new account, I get the error message saying that my passport number is already in their system, so I can't make a new account with my current passport(makes sense to be honest). So what can I do now? How can I get a new application number for my old account? It seems to me that it is the reason causing my current problem...

LinZhenPu Posted December 6, 2016 at 09:45 AM Report Share Posted December 6, 2016 at 09:45 AM Login to your old account and change the passport number to 0. It might be fruitless for applying for the 2017 Spring semester. My Confucius Institute teacher who is now in China attending meetings has been told that applications are now closed for Spring 2017. They have most likely been closed for quite a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
方茹婷 Posted December 10, 2016 at 09:00 PM Report Share Posted December 10, 2016 at 09:00 PM Hi Everyone!I'm new here and I guess there were others who already asked this (I didn't read all the 100 pages), so I'm asking it anyways.Is there anybody who applied for the One Year+MTCSOL? I want to apply for that next year (starting from September), but neither my teachers nor the official page has the info I need. Is it worth applying for this scholarship? Is there anything that I should know before applying? I also wish to know some things about the basic teaching (MTCSOL) courses, the classes and whether there is an "internship" as well, like if students have to teach to practice, and so on.Ah and I'm thinking about applying for the Beijing Language University (北京语言大学). Thank you so much in advance! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
艾墨本 Posted December 12, 2016 at 04:10 AM Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 at 04:10 AM I'm also considering apply for the one year+mtcsol, but at 北师大. The information about what the classes are like is very hard to come by. I tried looking for a wechat group about it and failed but maybe there is one for 北京语言大学。 I'll be going to the physical school in another month to try to get my questions answer. While it isn't the school you are interested in, are there any questions I might be able to ask on your behalf? As is, I'll most certainly be asking the questions you've already listed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
方茹婷 Posted December 27, 2016 at 10:22 AM Report Share Posted December 27, 2016 at 10:22 AM Dear 艾墨本,I'm sorry for replying so late. Thank you so much for the answer. Could you get any information about this course? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
艾墨本 Posted December 27, 2016 at 10:31 AM Report Share Posted December 27, 2016 at 10:31 AM Not yet. I'll be going to the school around January 20th. A friend has connected me with a teacher there and the teacher said the administration will still be at school then so I can go get a tour and ask some questions. Edit: Found this post on a blog about the course load - http://sarajaaksola.com/masters-degree-in-teaching-chinese/ Also found an old post about the Confucius Scholarship MTCSOL program. Reviews were not good. Maybe I should consider doing this through CSC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
