Popular Post Brian US Posted November 6, 2011 at 10:40 AM Popular Post Report Posted November 6, 2011 at 10:40 AM PLEASE READ THIS AND SEARCH THE THREAD BEFORE POSTING!!!! **This year's application process is nearly over, so please join us in the CSC Scholarship Results - 2012 topic for discussion on results. The following information was put together by the CSC Goddess extrapages with the help of admins and members. **The EU scholarship may still be available. See the American/EU topic for details. --- We've decided to make a new thread for the next round of CSC scholarship applicants. The plan is to make a fresh one each year. So this one's for you 2012 kids. Before we start: please check out the ARCHIVED posts from the past - it's a lot of information to sift through but it will answer the majority of your questions. The 2010 archived thread may be found here with the discussion on last year's results found here. This topic is for general CSC scholarship discussion. For specific questions/information go to the American/EU topic or the Other applicants topic for discussion on non US/EU applicants. --- The Basics Website: http://en.csc.edu.cn/ Information and Eligibility: http://en.csc.edu.cn...f3da38f99.shtml (READ THIS) Application Forms: http://en.csc.edu.cn...lt.aspx?cid=277 Online Application (not really): http://laihua.csc.edu.cn Not sure if the online application works, but fill it out anyway (search 2010 thread for comments) List of Universities: http://en.csc.edu.cn...hua/Search.aspx This thread is ONLY about the Chinese Government Scholarship - none of the others listed on the website. Here, we will discuss the steps of getting the Chinese Language scholarship. The process for those getting degrees is similar... you should be able to figure it out the small differences if that's what you're trying to do. To apply, contact and send your application to a Chinese embassy/consulate located in your home country. For example, Australians must apply at a Chinese embassy in Australia, and Americans must apply at a Chinese embassy in America. People currently in China can also apply, but they still have to mail their applications to a Chinese embassy in their home country! --- What We Know Very close to absolutely nothing. None of us know how this process works - and no one that is part of the process can tell us how it works. This is because even they don't know how it works. So just follow the rules. Trust me. Try calling the CSC people. I dare you. Deadlines are mostly in April - the deadline is different for each country/region/state/province. I encourage people to post and share their respective deadlines for 2012. The deadlines haven't been officially updated for 2012, yes something as basic as the deadline is unknown, but here is our best guess: U.S.-April 30th 2012 Try to apply before March 15th EU-April 30th 2012 Try to apply before March 31st Canada-December 15th 2011 British Columbia-January 2012 Ottawa-December 20th, 2011 Australia-December 26th 2011 Philippines-April 30th 2012 Morocco-March 30th 2012 The EU has its own CSC Scholarship. There are 100 full one-year scholarships. The PIF (Pacific Islands Forum) countries also has its own CSC Scholarship. There are 10 full scholarships. Airfare is included. I have no idea which countries are part of this forum. For everyone else, there are two types of scholarships: Full and Partial The full scholarship covers tuition, books, shared dorm, insurance, a monthly stipend, and (maybe) airfare. Airfare is ONLY covered if your specific country has this included in their agreement with China - it is limited to developing nations. For partial, you get to choose what you would like covered on the application. For people that are only applying for Chinese Language (as opposed to a degree), you can choose between 1 or 2 years. For people who are pursuing a degree, you can request 1 or 2 years of Chinese Language study BEFORE taking your classes if you either can't speak Chinese or need it improved. WE DO NOT KNOW THE CHANCES OF GETTING THIS SCHOLARSHIP FOR ANY COMBINATION OF THESE CHOICES. We don't know if we have a better chance of getting a partial or full scholarship, or if it's easier to get it if you request 1 or 2 years. Nor do we know how much your GPA matters, or if already having Chinese language skills hurts/helps you, or if having been to China before means you get extra points, or if having six toes will increase your chances. Whatever it is, we don't know. Quit asking. Please. You MUST start in September at the start of the new academic year (Generally. Some universities have their own December deadlines for Spring semesters. But you're on your own for that.) ... and SUMMER CLASSES are NOT included in the scholarship. If you already received the scholarship and wish to extend it you will need to apply again. First talk to your school or any contact to see what your options are. This is where your application will be going: Steps 1. You send your application to a third party representative of CSC (maybe your school). 2. The third party (OR you can apply directly) sends application to your native country's China Embassy. 3. Your native country's China Embassy sends your application to the Beijing CSC office. 4. The Beijing CSC office sends your application to your selected schools. 5. If and when a school accepts you, your acceptance is sent to the Beijing CSC office. 6. The Beijing CSC office sends your acceptance to your native country's China Embassy. 7. The China Embassy sends your acceptance and all needed documentation to you. At any step of this process your application may be rejected. Again we don't know why, how, or when the decision is made. In the end, the school gets a final say on whether you receive the scholarship or not. --- The Application Here is the application I submitted last year and was awarded the scholarship: http://i1105.photobu...pplication1.jpg http://i1105.photobu...pplication2.jpg http://i1105.photobu...pplication3.jpg 1. Proposed Study in China: Chinese Language Student 2. Duration of the Major Study: For people learning Chinese - you can study for either one or two years, starting in September. 3. Study or Research Plan: In the previous years, they required all applicants to write something like a personal statement that was no less than 400 words (THIS IS STILL TRUE FOR EU APPLICANTS and probably for "degree" applicants), but now, you can just write in a few sentences that you would like to learn Chinese. Feel free to write a full "study plan" if you'd like - check out the archived thread for more information. Member Kdavid has provided us with his study plan for a successful application that you may use as a reference. The attachment is at the end of the post. 4. Organization/Person Recommending You: I say go for anything that sounds official: Use your university, your professor, the company you work for, this forum, whatever. 5. The Guarantor: Anyone you know in China - CSC will not call or contact them. You can make this part up if you want. For people who want a real person, extrapages has volunteered to be your guarantor. Maybe. If you participate in this thread. She is not a fan of giving her real name, address, and phone number to strangers. Seriously. 6. Letters of Recommendation: We have heard reports that letters of recommendations are NOT required for those studying Chinese and not pursuing a degree. This is also written on the website. Include them if you wish. Those who are pursuing a degree will need TWO letters of recommendation from professors/employers. 7. You need a notarized copy of your most recent transcript, and your high school diploma (for those who are still in university) or degree (if you already graduated from college). If it is not in English or Chinese, you need to get it translated into one of those two languages. 8. They want TWO copies of the application. We're not sure of that means the whole application (including any documents) or just the application form - so we recommend that you send two of everything. Online Application Here is a list of the known agency numbers. It is best to input the agency number of the embassy you are applying to, so U.S. applicants should input 8401 (number of the Chinese embassy in D.C.). If you cannot find the agency number then try the number for your first pick university. This will automatically fill in that school as your first choice. 10006 - Beihang Univ.

China in Venezuela --- The University Applying to the university of choice before applying is OPTIONAL. We don't know if you get a better chance of either getting the scholarship or getting your first choice if you do get the scholarship. Also, there is no guarantee that you will get your first, second, or third choice that you list. There have been some people last year that didn't get any of their three and were sent to a random university. If you do apply beforehand, the university will send you an acceptance letter (which you would include with your scholarship application) and a student visa form that you will use to apply for your Chinese visa. You are normally not allowed to change universities, but it is possible. By possible I mean nearly impossible. A fellow Canadian classmate was only allowed to switch schools after getting a recommendation from 大山 himself. If you don't know who 大山 is, then look at it this way...have your country's ambassador talk to the head of the CSC on your behalf. --- The Foreigner Physical Examination Form You can get it filled out by your family doctor, internist, or a doctor from a clinic. It usually takes no more than 20 minutes. You don't need a "seal," as stated - the signature of the doctor and a stamp with the doctor's name and address and contact information of the hospital/clinic is fine. As for the "photo section" - it requires either a signature or stamp on the photo and paper (half on/half off at the same time) so that it can act as a seal to prove that it is your photo and has not been tampered with. For those of you currently in Beijing needing a physical examination it may be done here. DO NOT send the ORIGINAL Foreign Physical Examination Form with either the CSC application or your visa application. Send copies. You keep the ORIGINAL with you - treat it like your passport (even though you'll never use it again). --- Post-Scholarship/In China Notification: If you get the scholarship (notification is sent to you sometime around May/June - some people were notified as late as August), CSC will send you a package filled with information on the selected school, an admission letter from that school, a letter reminding you that you must register at the school between certain dates, and the Visa Application Form for Study in China (JW201) already filled out by CSC. All you need to do is get the visa, book your flight, and come to China. Stipend: All fees are taken care of. The only thing you need to manage is your stipend. Some universities will give you an ATM card that gets money deposited in it every month, while others will require you to pick up cash from a certain office. the stipend is generally handed out at the end of the month. The stipend starts at 1400 RMB a month - and a normal person will blow that in about a couple weeks or so eating out, exploring the city, buying daily necessities, partying - but it is POSSIBLE to live off just that if you just stay home and study, eat at the cafeteria, and have no life. My school did say starting next year that the stipend would be doubled, so for example I would get 3400/mo as a master's student (1700x2). I'll believe it when I see it. Housing: The housing provided is the cheapest international students' accommodations the school offers. Usually, it's a tiny room with two desks, two closets, and two beds - without a private bathroom (you use a shared one with the rest of the floor). At some schools you can move to a nicer dorm, even to a single - as long as you pay the difference. However, in ALL cases, if you decide to move off-campus, you will lose the housing money altogether. They will not help you with your rent. Insurance: The scholarship pays for crap insurance. If you have health issues or would like to have comprehensive insurance, pay for your own plan before you get to China. You don't want to be on this insurance if something serious happens to you. You're going to get third-world country treatment and nothing more. --- Other/Miscellaneous I found a strange CSC Liaison Officer Contact Page. It gives you contact information of people in Beijing. Yeah. Good luck with that. There are AGE LIMITS for those applying for the scholarship. Please read the CSC page on eligibility for more information. --- JOIN THE DISCUSSION - SAY HELLO Hello. Where are you applying from? Just studying Chinese or pursuing a degree? What did your local Chinese embassy say? Where and how did you get your papers notarized? Did you apply for your school of choice beforehand? Where did you get your Physical Exam done? Anything else you learned or would like to share? Please refrain from discussion on which schools to apply to. There is a lot of information you may find around these forums. If you find the application process is too overbearing, we are here for you. Yet, keep in mind this is how things are done in China, so consider the commitment of living there. I want to thank everyone that has been/is/will be a part of this project - including all the admins, members, lurkers - everyone, especially extrapages. Extrapages has helped out thousands over the years and helped spread awareness that the Chinese government will pay you to study in China. It's a huge collaborative effort, and I'm glad we're in this together. Good luck, boys and girls. See you in China! kdavid Study Plan CSC 2011(1).pdf 10
Jamuna Posted November 6, 2011 at 10:58 AM Report Posted November 6, 2011 at 10:58 AM Thanks a ton for the topic Brain! I was waiting for the thread to be started.
Brian US Posted November 6, 2011 at 12:27 PM Author Report Posted November 6, 2011 at 12:27 PM A change this year is the addition of two separate topics for: CSC Scholarship - 2012 American/EU Applicants CSC Scholarship - 2012 Other Applicants Look into these topics if you can't find your post, because I will be moving them to their respected topics. The type of post suited for general discussion: Member that has read through the first post and answered many of their own questions- Is it true that the monthly stipend will be doubled next year? Brian US- I was told by the foreign student office at Renmin University that the monthly stipend will be doubled next semester. We are still not sure if this will actually happen or even if it is for all CSC scholarship students in China. I'll update you as soon as I hear anything new! A typical post that will be moved to the CSC Scholarship - 2012 Other Applicants topic: Member that has read through the first post and answered many of their own questions- Anyone know the agency number for the Chinese embassy in New Zealand?
joshuawbb Posted November 6, 2011 at 01:36 PM Report Posted November 6, 2011 at 01:36 PM The CSC Scholarship threads are honestly a godsend, thank you. I will not be applying this year but presuming the scholarship continues in 2013/14, I will be applying for a scholarship for a masters degree then. The only scholarship they provide for masters applicants who received their degree in China (will graduate with a BA in 2013) is their "distinguished international student" scholarship for high-achieving graduates, and despite the website mentioning that 200 are available per year, it's apparently for the highest achievers, so looks like I'll be pushing my grades as high as possible for a chance.

roddy Posted November 7, 2011 at 04:18 PM Report Posted November 7, 2011 at 04:18 PM Thanks to Brian US for getting the ball rolling again this year! A note from myself as Admin-in-Chief of this site: 1) This is one topic out of literally tens of thousands we have on this site. If you have a question about where to buy shoes in Shanghai, or if you need to bring a hair-dryer, or how to find an apartment in Chengdu, we can help. Click on some of the links up in the header, use the search - explore. Don't just sit in here getting nervous about your application. 2) Similarly, there are questions that should notbe posted in the CSC topics, as they are not CSC-specific. Once you have your admission documents, the visa application process is identical to that for self-funded students - so if you have a question, find the visa sub-forum and post there. If you want to know about accommodation at Sichuan International Studies University, find or start a topic about accommodation at Sichuan International Studies University - not everyone at SISU is a CSC student. Good luck all!
icebear Posted November 10, 2011 at 10:43 AM Report Posted November 10, 2011 at 10:43 AM Is the expectation that the application form and medical form will remain unchanged this year, or that a new one will be released (presumably in the next month or so)?

New Members usmanalifaisal Posted November 15, 2011 at 01:46 PM New Members Report Posted November 15, 2011 at 01:46 PM hello ...my name is Usman and i m currently studying medicine in china...but my question is about my brother...he want to come to china to study chinese for one year...so i need to ask one question...that which way is best... to apply online on csc website to apply directly in a university by going there[if it is possible] or he should apply himself in the chinese embassy in pakistan? he is currently taking the exams of BA[bachelor of arts]...if he gets scholarship when will his classes start? and give me some advice if i m missing some question,because i dont know anything about this procedure.
Brian US Posted November 15, 2011 at 01:53 PM Author Report Posted November 15, 2011 at 01:53 PM to apply online on csc websiteto apply directly in a university by going there[if it is possible] or he should apply himself in the chinese embassy in pakistan? I would normally recommend applying to the embassy directly, but from last year's discussion you can find a lot about the Pakistani process: http://www.chinese-forums.com/index.php?/topic/32171-csc-scholarship-results-2011/
Jamuna Posted November 16, 2011 at 07:51 AM Report Posted November 16, 2011 at 07:51 AM Hi Usman. Dont confuse between online application and direct application. As i think that in India and in Pakistan the application process is same, i can suggest u to do this way 1. Contact Ministry and get to know when the application procedure starts. In India it starts in mid of Jan or 1st week of Feb. 2. you would have to apply manual directly to ministry and also online. the online application copy shall be attached with the supporting document. 3. Incase if you have an interview, candidates will be nominated. 4. the nominated candidates' application will be forwarded to embassy, the embassy sends the application to CSC in China. 5. CSC takes care of your admission. It applies for colleges. 6. your application gains an admission, then you are given scholarship. Better talk to ministry in your country and also to embassy. get things clarified by them. Wish you best on your efforts! Regards, Jamuna
Shasel Posted November 17, 2011 at 07:40 AM Report Posted November 17, 2011 at 07:40 AM Hi everyone, Thanks for all the info! I had very little information about this whole process initially so I did a google search. It directed me to one of those third party sites that help you out with application to Chinese univerisities. Anyhow, I applied through one of these sites to one of the schools they suggested. They just informed me that I have been accepted for a masters program in September and language course to start earlier in March. I know that the applications for CSC starts in January and I'm planning on applying at the embassy then for the September semester. My concern is that the letter of acceptance the school is planning to send me will say that I have been accepted for language course in March. (I plan to pay for the March semester myself as there are no scholarships and the CSC application will be for the masters in September.) I'm concerned that attaching this letter might actually hurt my chances. Do you have any idea if it makes a difference? Also, do you know if the recommendation letter they ask for needs to be from a professor? I was planning on having my employer write a recommendation. (Btw, the registraion question took me a while to figure out because a google search brings back results in Chinese...)
joshuawbb Posted November 17, 2011 at 12:01 PM Report Posted November 17, 2011 at 12:01 PM Just a quick question - I'm a little confused about the "European" scholarship vs. the, well, normal scholarship. Does this mean that European countries are restricted to only applying for 1 year language courses, or can I apply for a bachelor/masters program through the normal scholarship? Thanks!
Brian US Posted November 17, 2011 at 03:14 PM Author Report Posted November 17, 2011 at 03:14 PM @Shasel It's up in the air if your acceptance letter will help or hurt your chances. It is possible that they will give you a scholarship to the school you have enrolled in, so try to contact the school directly. Sometimes they will have scholarships set aside by the CSC that they can give out. Basically the same scholarship. Also, do you know if the recommendation letter they ask for needs to be from a professor? I was planning on having my employer write a recommendation. This question gets asked every year, and I say to just use your best judgement. I've never heard of a bad recommendation letter. If you can get a recommendation letter from your ambassador then go for it, if not then your neighbor will do.
Brian US Posted November 19, 2011 at 01:07 AM Author Report Posted November 19, 2011 at 01:07 AM @joshuawbb Good question because the application seems to show there are only scholarships for language students. I know this came up last year, so I'll try to go through the topic to find out.
Shasel Posted November 22, 2011 at 01:32 PM Report Posted November 22, 2011 at 01:32 PM @Brian Thanks. Its probably a good idea to clear things with the school. I’m an Ethiopian student, so I will be applying for the scholarship at the embassy in Ethio. I think they have about 50 scholarships per year, so fingers crossed that my applying to the school first won’t be an issue. @joshuawbb, Yes, I do think there is a difference between the scholarship offered to European students and the “normal” scholarship. As far as I know, the scholarship for students from other parts of the world is offered for masters and bachelor degree students as well. I read somewhere that you have to take a year or two of Chinese language course prior to starting your masters but some school websites say that this is not mandatory if its an English taught program.
mdk31 Posted November 27, 2011 at 09:25 PM Report Posted November 27, 2011 at 09:25 PM So, will anyone contact my home university if I put this down as the recommender? I'm applying as an individual, but I'll technically be enrolled at the time that I submit the scholarship.
Brian US Posted November 28, 2011 at 12:54 AM Author Report Posted November 28, 2011 at 12:54 AM So, will anyone contact my home university if I put this down as the recommender? I'm applying as an individual, but I'll technically be enrolled at the time that I submit the scholarship. One of your recommendation letters is from your home university? I doubt anyone will contact them let alone read the letter.
