It's OK we all still in stage 4 we need to wait till 28th of this month

 

you haven't seen the picture that was uploaded. It shows that the applicant was rejected. 

 

28th was last year, it is not an official date of the announcement. It may be earlier or later.

Oh no.... honestly, this year everything seems completely opposite to last year's. So many people are getting bad news and so early??

Another one here. I applied for 1 year chinese program and i was stuck on stage 4 since 14 of May. Now they just put me on stage 3 with the next message 经专家评审，未列入奖学金生候选人名单。

It's really clear on what it says but at the same time they put me on lvl 3 so i'm a little confuse here... 

I will start looking a program by my own while I contact with my CI and university to try to know what happend.

Luck tu you all !

What is happening this year?  You lot have met the criteria for one semester study too. Its either the places offered have gone down or there were a lot of applicants and competition.

[A_G]

maybe being put back to stage 3 means you can try the following semester or year ?

[地球人]

To the ones who got rejected and taken back to step 3 (hopefully only for now), did anyone have hsk 4 or above?

@Katoo@jungleonthefloor @devinaandreas @CriquetKhan Can you confirm what time did you get an email from Hanban (and in which time zone are you)? I am wondering whether they review and release one by one or in a batch.

[devinaandreas]

I didnt get email from hanban, i occasionally login to cis website just in case. It is stated in my cis page that the status change at 18.34 (not sure it is my time or beijing time though).

Btw i am in indonesia, gmt+7.

I have hsk5 and hskk advance, applying for master degree (teaching chinese)

[Katoo]

@pan.kasper my status changed at 16:46h beijing time. My time zone is WEST european zone. It was around 10am in portugal.

I didn't recieve any email from Hanban. I alseo saw it joining scholarship website.

@Katoo is that the "Confucius Institute Scholarships 2017" group? 

 

 

[Katoo]

@pan.kasper yes! Go check it out

[pan.kasper]

@Katoo just sent a request, waiting for approval. Weird that i haven't thought about facebook groups when i was searching for more information about the scholarship. But i really like this forum as well

[Katoo]

@pan.kasper i found that randomly and even though it says “2017” it’s up to date! 

Everyone who wants to know more about this can try this group: https://m.facebook.com/groups/766561486833139

I saw that FB group. There is someone saying the whole Thailand students were rejected. I didn't see anyone with scholarship granted. Did they just decide to massively cut scholarships...? Ok I'm going insane now

[Katoo]

@地球人 right! I feel this is unfair because it seems they did not gave opportunity to some people and it seems random.. from one semester to master degree i mean no places left whatsoever? I wish this was a system bug but I don’t think so ?
