CSC Scholarship Results - 2011

[meganp]

Anyone else in this discussion a CSC student going to study at Tsinghua? I'll be there for the next two years getting my master's degree

[Brian US]

I'm planning to upgrade or to rent an apartment maybe.

Keep in mind that if you live off campus then you will not receive any allowance for rent. This typically runs from 25-35RMB a day.

Helios@ - correct, 25 spaces for DC Embassy only. Unfortunately, I followed directions from my University in the US to send to the DC Embassy. Chances are much higher if you apply through your local embassy/consulate. Wish I had known that! B)

Yes that is true. It is better if you apply to your local embassy or consulate . To determine this use the China USA embassy website on the districts.

I got my scholarship through the Houston Consulate, in which about 25 students got some type of scholarship. Also please be known that sometimes consulates and certain Universities have unofficial agreements on a set number of scholarships that are to be given to that university. I do not know how these are established but I personally know of one university who receives 2 scholarships every year as long as there is students that apply for the scholarship.

[Helios]

Does anyone have the contact information for the LA consulate?

Thanks in advance!

@ dr.Haseeb, Dear brother you should not lose your hope...better luck next time. I've read your replies and got inspired by your kind attitude.

I'm bit confused about my selection too. I'd applied in Xi'an Jiaotong University for applied chemistry but they are not responding me I've sent so many emails to them but having no reply. I made a call to the university office, they said that I should send email again. I did and find no reply by them. Plz do guide me what should I do? . They are not picking my phone now.

[HappyCSCscholar]

Congratulations RoyT!!!

Helios, hope the LA consulate is able to do something for you!

For those who didn't get the scholarship this year...you can apply again next year ;) Embassy told me you can apply again, even if you are already a student in China.

[Dr.Haseeb Sattar]

@Asady..Thanks dear.

Dear if they are not picking and replying your email then im very sorry it reflects that you couldnt get scholarship..

The thing which i come to know that this year CSC got funding crisis due to which they re short the final selected students which results many of studnt couldnt get scholarship this year..

Posts about BLCU dorms, and anything else not specific to CSC scholarships, are getting deleted. Find the right topic and post there.

[nubcakes]

Sorry about that. Anyways, congrats to all you scholars then!

[Ilanav]

Wasn't sure if I should start a new topic,so I'll try my luck here...

anyways, i received the CSC scholarship to Renmnin university for the next year.

I applied to Chinese language course, but today i noticed that in my papers it says - "junior visiting scholar" in the school of International Studies. Back at home my major is International relations and thats what i also fill in the application form together with Chinese language student. so maybe it was my mistake.

Question - My chinese is not nearly good enough to enroll in classes that are held in Chinese. Will the univeristy enable me to take the Chinese language courses anyway?

[RoyT]

@ Ilanav

Just contact Renmin Uni. and explain them the mistake, there shouldn't be a problem.

The same thing happened to me and the staff at Sichuan Uni. replied it was CSC's mistake and if I want to study Chinese, it is possible.

Good luck!

[Ilanav]

Tip for future applicants:

-Unless you really want to go to that schol, don't choose a non-Project 211 school. You are less likely to get it. I heard a rumour that the CSC wont grant a foreigner a scholarship to a non-project 211 school and then it happened to me, despite having built quit a good relationship with some high level staff at the University and with the Chinese Minister of Education in Australia.

[roddy]

I heard a rumour

It would be great if people who hear rumours and so on could be more specific about where, when and who from.
