I would be applying from my home country's embassy...

 

Hi I have provided and extract from the CSC 2017 FORUM

 

Steps for Embassy application
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.

 

You can always go back to the old forum's to research.

Hey!

 

I am going to apply for a scholarship through Embassy route and for MA programs which require IELTS. Unforutnately my IELTS gonna be on 23 March so I am unable to submit my application with IELTS. Is it a big issue to send my IELTS directly to University after the deadline or they gonna fail me instantly?

Thank You for support

This happened to two friends of mine. Tuition can be covered up to 30,000 yuan per year, and one them had a tuition of up to 100,000yuan and the other around 75,000yuan. They said they were both told (I dont know by who or how or when) that they were granted the scholarship to their target university (were tuition was the aforementioned) but they had to cover the rest (70,000yuan and 45,000,yuan, respectively). The first one said No, thank you, and was sent to her second choice university, and the second one accepted and he looked for other scholarships in his country to cover the rest.

Something like this happened to me 2 years ago. I applied through Embassy and I had one expired TOEFL and I was going to take it again on a date that was after we had to send the papers to the Embassy. What I did was I sent my papers with my expired TOEFL and I sent a message to the Chinese Education Aggregate at my country´s Embassy (his contact was at the end of the scholarship announcement in my country and he was a very helpful and responsive man). He said no problem I could send it to him when I had it, which I did, but he never said if he added the new TOEFL to my papers. I ended up getting the scholarship, so I guess either he did or they let me pass my expired certificate (it was expired just one year ago). I hope you can do something similar, although starting from the year following to the one I applied the announcement in my country added a clause that they are no longer accepting expired English certificates, I guess it happens to a lot of us

 

Note: It was for one year language study, I think it could be "more mandatory" for a postgraduate program

@limoo have u tried calling the host university to tell them.

Although personally i feel you should jst take your chances. Just send your application and hope they dont consider proficiency exam

@Lu_ i dont think thats possible

[limoo]

Thanks for both for your answers. That's really helpful.

 

Yes I've asked them already. At Jiao Tong they are okay and require to have screenshot from registration to IELTS in the application package. I don't know how about other universities cause the communication is quite limited. Anyway I found an earlier date (March 9) in different city so I am going to approach IELTS quick as lightning.

Thanks also for information about the tuition and scholarship coverage. For financial and business degrees that's the case (also my case). Is there anyone who knows if it's possible in China to obtain any government backed student loan with low interests, something similar like in UK? I am seriously debating with myself is it worthwhile to spend additional bucks for a tuition in China, while Europe has a variety of great finance degrees with no tuition fees.

Hay guys I have sent my hard copy to the university a week ago but I have seen a mistake on my csc on other contacts it says spouse name I put my father's name dose it affect my chance of winning the scholarship or should I apply again?

[GabrielaVD]

@philippo and community in general, can you help me, please?

In the online application it requires you to upload certificates of highest education and transcripts of highest education, does it only requires the very last education certificate and transcript? or does it require the last ones and the high school certificate and transcription as well? because from what I understand its only the last one (in my case my Bachelors diploma and transcript) the announcement in my country requires the exact same documents required at the bottom of the application online, but adding also the ones from high school as well, and since Im applying through Embassy and they are gonna send my documents to China I am wondering if they have to be exactly the same documents.

 

I hope you guys can help me with this doubt 

 

[philippo]

@Eyoel it doesnt mean anything. No problem

[philippo]

@GabrielaVD i dont really get your question. But it is statement your should upload transcript and highest degree diploma result 

Your previous educational level should have a result issued by the college, high school or instititute to certify that you are a graduate of that institute.

Upload it.

[philippo]

Personally i think you should apply to the best of your understanding and pray for good outcome.

this has happened to me, as my second option´s tuition fee is 40000, and scholarship covers up to 25000. I guess I would pass if I got selected. Does anyone know any ways to ask for more scholarships in order to compensate this problem tho?

 

PS: I have contacted my embassy regarding this. I will keep you guys posted in case you are interested. The CSC page states that

"Tuition waiver. Tuition funds will be comprehensively used by the host university. It may cover scholarship students’ education, administration costs and expenditures to support student activities" so idk

@GabrielaVD The tuition fees at my university cost 30000CNY, perhaps there are some exceptions regarding that aspect

what do you mean about the exceptions, @MrDuque? if your tuition fees at your school are 30,000 CNY the scholarship does cover the full tuition, whats the exception there, you mean?
