ithelps Posted November 7, 2014 at 04:18 PM Report Posted November 7, 2014 at 04:18 PM I want to know when can I begin to submit my application or apply for 2015? The laihua online application is avaliable, but from the previous discussion, it doesn't start until next year around jan or feb. A little confused. Also when I apply to the university via online application, does that mean I am automatically applied to the school of my 3 choosing? I don't have to apply directly to the school again, do i? I want to do a 1 year language. Quote
DongLian Posted November 21, 2014 at 07:54 PM Report Posted November 21, 2014 at 07:54 PM I think the laihua app is available year round.. but the application period is defintely Jan/Feb. I've already spoken about that with my local embassy. Quote
ithelps Posted November 21, 2014 at 09:33 PM Author Report Posted November 21, 2014 at 09:33 PM Where are you from? I been trying to get i contact with my local consulate and Embassy, but they know nothing. Quote
DongLian Posted November 21, 2014 at 10:25 PM Report Posted November 21, 2014 at 10:25 PM I'm in Pennsylvania USA, you? Quote
ithelps Posted November 21, 2014 at 10:39 PM Author Report Posted November 21, 2014 at 10:39 PM I am in NYC. Oh good maybe you could help me. Will you be applying for the Fall 2015? Quote
grawrt Posted November 22, 2014 at 01:36 AM Report Posted November 22, 2014 at 01:36 AM ithelps, I'm from NYC too, I didn't bother talking with my embassy. I just followed the instructions and submitted it. I don't think the local embassy matters much because you need to send your application to DC, not the NYC embassy. I know NYC has one but they don't list it under the CSC links so I didn't send my package to them and I wouldn't advise you to either (especially if they've never heard of it). For the three choices I think you're automatically applied to just the first one and if they reject you it goes down the list. I'm currently a language scholar (1 year) at BLCU. I didn't get a pre-admissions notice, or even apply for BLCU. I just put it in my three choices. Some time around may I was contacted by the scholarship council telling me I got it but if I wanted to secure a spot at a school I could get a pre-admission letter and fax it to them. I didn't. Of course, If you care where you're going I guess that makes a choice in your decision to include the pre-admission letter or not. Hope this helps. Good luck~! P.S, even if you are a language scholar it wont hurt to try and include everything. 1 Quote
DongLian Posted November 24, 2014 at 05:14 PM Report Posted November 24, 2014 at 05:14 PM @ithelps Yeah, like Grawt said you don't go through the NY consulate you want to go through the Embassy in DC. Here is the contact info for Bu Huangfang and she's the one you'd wanna ask questions of. http://www.sino-education.org/english/contactus.htm ALOT of info is on the sino-education.org/english that will be useful. But yeah.. I totally understand the stress XD Quote
DongLian Posted November 24, 2014 at 05:18 PM Report Posted November 24, 2014 at 05:18 PM Actually.. I have a question if anyone might have an idea. I am applying for CSC 2015 but I'm also getting married in the next few months. I'm worried if I change my name it might cause problems? I want to change my name but I'm worried about doing it. I definitely won't have my name changed before I apply in January. My last name will be changing from "Heckman" to "Lu" and I want the dang shortness for a last name lolol. Anyway, if anyone knows I would be grateful. Quote
ithelps Posted November 29, 2014 at 11:08 PM Author Report Posted November 29, 2014 at 11:08 PM Okay thanks guys, I will give it a look. If i send my application in early, is it better? also for the essay, should it be in Chinese or English? If i write it in English I don't think the Chinese will notice any grammer errors also how do i know when the application begins? The site from laihua is avaliable but i can't find information if it's open or not, the application Quote
ithelps Posted November 29, 2014 at 11:13 PM Author Report Posted November 29, 2014 at 11:13 PM @donglian Do bu huangfang have an email address that i can contact her at? Quote
英泰inte Posted November 30, 2014 at 09:56 PM Report Posted November 30, 2014 at 09:56 PM @ithelps OK this is my first post and all but trust me on this. We met Bu Huanfang in person at the embassy and traded emails: buhuanfang @ sino-education.org . From talking to her I think she speaks more 中文 than english...is your 中文 good? I thought it was weird how that website donglian gave didn't have any emails. anyways, I hope this can help you (haha first posts are always a little scary) Quote
ithelps Posted November 30, 2014 at 11:35 PM Author Report Posted November 30, 2014 at 11:35 PM Thank you so much. I spent one year last year in Nanjing so my Chinese is pretty good. I remember my first post 2 years ago, i was asking so much questions on this forum. Don't worry about that first post, you soon will be spamming haha. I glad and honored to know that your first post is on my started thread 1 Quote
DongLian Posted November 30, 2014 at 11:47 PM Report Posted November 30, 2014 at 11:47 PM @ithelps The email he gave was correct, I got that from her over the phone. Her English is perfectly fine though, I don't get that from her that speaking English will be limiting at all. Quote
ithelps Posted November 30, 2014 at 11:55 PM Author Report Posted November 30, 2014 at 11:55 PM Great thanks. I have a lot of going on right now so I would like to communciate through Email. Hopefully she responds, a lot of people that work for the government tends to not respond too much Quote

TyO Posted January 5, 2015 at 08:09 AM Report Posted January 5, 2015 at 08:09 AM Quick question about this info Chinese Government Scholarship supports the following 7 programs. 1. Bilateral Program This includes full or partial scholarships in accordance with educational exchange agreements or MOUs between the Chinese government and governments of other countries, institutions, universities and international organizations. It supports undergraduate programs, master’s programs, doctoral programs, general scholar programs and senior scholar programs. Applicants shall apply to the dispatching authorities for overseas study in their home countries. 2. Chinese University Program A full scholarship to support Chinese universities in specific provinces or autonomous regions to recruit outstanding international students for graduate studies in China. It only supports master’s programs and doctoral programs. Applicants shall apply to the designated Chinese universities undertaking this program. 3. Great Wall Program A full scholarship for the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) to sponsor students and scholars in developing countries to study and research in China. It only supports general scholar programs and senior scholar programs. Applicants shall apply to the National Commissions for UNESCO in their home countries. 4. EU Program A full scholarship to encourage students from EU member countries to study and research in China in order to promote mutual understanding between China and EU members. It supports undergraduate programs, master’s programs, doctoral programs, general scholar programs and senior scholar programs. Applicants shall apply to the Office for Education and Culture, Mission of P. R. China to the European Union. 5. AUN Program A full scholarship for ASEAN University Network (AUN) to enhance the academic exchange and mutual understanding between China and ASEAN members.

Clef Ment Posted January 5, 2015 at 09:39 AM Report Posted January 5, 2015 at 09:39 AM @ 金妙漪: I will personally do it in January or February just to be sure, better safe than sorry. @ TyO: I'm not sure if I will answer your question correctly, but when you will apply for your CSC scholarship (here: http://laihua.csc.edu.cn/inscholarship/jsp/student/StudentLogin.jsp), you have to choose " CHINESE GOVERNMENT SCHOLARSHIP". You can also check this thread with a lot of infos: http://www.chinese-forums.com/index.php?/topic/42466-csc-scholarship-2014-general-discussion/ Quote
