Regarding Hanban Scholarship

[Jabri93]

Hi guys, my name is Jabri and I from Malaysia.

So today I came to the Kongzi Institute UM in Kuala Lumpur to know more about the HSK and scholarship provided by Hanban.

I've been learning mandarin for the past 7 months in hope that I'll be able to get the scholarship to study in China for 1 academic year(HSK 3).

To my surprise, they tell me that the scholarship is only provided for those who are currently studying in universities and wanted to go for exchange program in China. I've just graduated this year and so the scholarship didn't allow me to do that.

My heart broke when I heard this. Continue learning chinese has been my main goal next year. Is this true ?

Is there any way I can continue learning Chinese in China ?

Look for another type of scholarship.

[Jabri93]

Can help elaborate more on it, perhaps name one or few type of other scholarships available out there for those interested to continue their chinese language studies. Much appreciated

For example, the CSC (Chinese Government one) - http://en.csc.edu.cn/

 

When you say Hanban, do you mean Confucius?

[Jabri93]

Yes confucy, confucius scholarship

[Jabri93]

The chinese government scholarship, does it support normal people ? I mean,for example those working and already graduated and looking for scholarship to continue their chinese language studies. Thank you so much for the reply, I really appreciated since I'm currently at a phase of navigating and exploring in my life direction. I've graduated but I think I'm not really into my work right now and I really enjoy language learning.

Where did you find that the CS has the limitations you stated in post #1?

[Jabri93]

I didn't find it on the website but about 2 days ago I went to the Kongzi Institute in my country and the lecturer tell me this. That's why I post it again here, to double check whether it is true or not. I hope anyone can clarify about this.

[Jabri93]

I really appreciate ur reply guys !

[艾墨本]

Well, double check on the website because I think the lecturer got their info wrong.

[Jabri93]

Thank you so much 艾墨本, just want to make sure I understand, basically, no matter i've graduated or already working right now, if I take the HSK and HSKK test,
I'm qualified to apply for the scholarship, isn't it ? Thank you !

[艾墨本]

Yep.
