Confucius Institute Scholarship 2018

[XJ]

Hi everyone. Is anyone applying with NJU? I was one of the people that got caught up in the "one year scholarships are all full" saga, so immediately re-applied for the one semester as that is  better than nothing.

I am slightly concerned because initially during my application for the one year scholarship I had progressed to the stage where NJU sent me an email asking me to add their official account for the Skype interview.  I have done that and I have never heard from them again (only to log on and find out i had been booted back to stage 1).

 

However, subsequent to me re-applying, I have also emailed them to let them know that I had re-applied for the one semester scholarship, my local CI had approved it and it was now back over to them. I still have not heard anything - i am worried that they have gone on with the interviews and left me behind.

I have also been trying to call them for two days straight to try and get a response - but the number I had previously been able to reach them on is always either busy or unavailable. Has anyone else had any other luck or can shed any light on this situation???

Hello!! After being sent back from stage 3 to 1 because I had a problem with my emergency contact in china (blcu was really nice since they emailed me and told me to change it), four days later I was finally on stage 4. I’m applying to one semester scholarship and on the commentary section of cis online blcu wrote “material complete, major related” etc

 

im really scared because apparently a lot people have been sent back and even rejected at stage 5 for insufficient places..

 

do you think that the places for one semester might also be full? ?

 

thank you and good luck!!

@CatarinaRogado I think there should be a first wave of admittance around the 15th of June.

@A_G that's pretty late. Last year people got confirmed their places around June 28th

How long did it take for you to receive all the documents for the visa after your reached stage 5

I think around 3 or 4 weeks. But it you are very tight with the times, you can ask for a scanned copy and try.

Since the 1 year scholarships are not possible anymore, is it still possible to get 1 semester scholarship or is it also lut of reach because of the people limit?

Hi everyone. I applied for 4 years scholarship in 30 May.  The confucius application form requires a high school transcript. but I only upload high school diploma in education background. I worry about that canceled scholarship chance. In this case, will the application be canceled? Or sent back from stage1? My currently stage is 3.

Thank you

@Wuka No news from Hanban that quotas have been met for the one semester scholarship, therefore you should apply very soon for Sept 2018 entry as decisions are made in the second half of this month.

@Barissevim your first choice of school will perhaps bump you back to stage 1 with a message "missing documents", then you will have to up-load what is missing and have your CI correspondent resubmit your application.

[pan.kasper]

@Barissevim nobody really knows. It might not even be relevant to be honest. Your best shot is to email the university of your choice and your CI. You are the first person I know that applied for 4 years scholarship so the rules may be different than the ones for the rest of us.

Has anyone already reached step 5?

 I was denied by Nankai University. Does it mean that scholarship application has ended for me, Or do I have any chance to apply to the second option?

@Veronica Peña The application should be automatically transferred to your second choice. What is your application status now (when you click 查看 on the CIS website)? It should say something like 转入第二志愿

@Veronica Peña at what stage you were denied?

[Sanna]

Is it a possibility to being rejected on stage 5? 

[kiryu]

@Barissevim Hi! I applied for 4 years scholarship too, and I am confused now. I did not find about upload high school transcripts.I just see where we need to upload diploma.

Stage 5 is scholarship awarded/not awarded. So once you get to stage 5, it's the final word. You either got it or not. If you are to be rejected on the last instance, it'd be on stage 4 on the way to 5.

@soylomass I was denied on third stage.

@Veronica Peña What did they write on your Examination Report? You still have time to apply again, you can try another university.
