2019 CSC Scholarships

[Neduboo]

I just checked my application status at CGS website today. My application status has been changed for "submitted" to "in progress" . I applied to Yangtze University, China

 

Please what does it means?? 

[Luscious]

Anybody who applied to Communication University of China here? Or anybody who knows if there will be a second round of applications sent directly to CUC? If yes, when do they open? 

[Hani.J]

@Neduboo Depends on your university's deadline, could be the step of auditing your documents.

 

P.S, "In progress" or "In process"?

[Neduboo]

@Hani.J my application status as at today reads "In progress"

[Hani.J]

@Neduboo Could be the step of auditing your documents. Fingers crossed for you.

Mine is still submitted

Im quite nervous since I sent my application to the Foreign Office, then they aproved my application to be sent to the Chinese Embassy and said the C.E. will announce results within 2 months (the first month is over now so I guess it will be this April). Im getting a bit anxious now, but I guess we are all the same at this point.

 

Good luck, everyone!

[Neduboo]

@GabrielaVD  I noticed your scholarship type is Type A while mine is Type B. Let be hopeful all the same.

@GabrielaVD I'm sure we can't help feeling a little anxious, but it shouldn't worry us too much. I read through the 2018 CSC scholarship thread here and it gave me a lot of insights and many things to be prepared for. In all of them, one thing was clear. Patience, patience, patience.

 We have many months of waiting to look forward to. Have faith. No matter what happens, it's not the end of the world. Let's keep ourselves updated. All the best to everyone.

It might be too late for me to be asking this now but, if you apply via via your country's embassy (Type A), how, or at what point in the application can you nominate the university(s) that you want to attend?

@CubePhil Hey, where did you find about the information that Online Application will close on March 31? I don't see this info on the CampusChina page.

[CubePhil]

Hi @Huyenlala Are you asking about a deadline for CSC scholarship? 

Anyway, information on "Campuschina" page advise applicants to apply for CSC scholarships between early January and April. They are however quick to point out that the applicant should consult their target universities for specific deadlines.

This is because the universities decide when to receive applications. I know universities whose deadline ended in November and December last year for CSC scholarships in 2019/2020. That's why I mentioned in my previous post that I believe the first place to get admission information and deadlines should always be at your target university.

So I'm not saying all applications will close on March. Some have ended, others have not. It depends on the university you are applying to and whether you are applying for CSC scholarship.

Will be happy to help if you are looking for the deadline of a particular university.

[CubePhil]

@C0ckerel I don't know much about "Type A" applications. But I'm sure your embassy will guide you in the application process.

@C0ckerel

 During online application you would be asked to provide three preferred universities for type A and any of them could be given to you. I was given my first choice because the university had already given me pre-admission letter and I also had an acceptance letter from a professor. My friend had his second choice with no pre-admission letter or an acceptance from a professor. we all applied through type A.

@Huyenlala For Type A (embassy) applications, you need to go to the website of the Chinese embassy in your country of residence to find out the deadline. Most if not all would have passed by now as its the end of March. For me, the deadline for the UK was 21 March and the EU Window is 01 April.

[Huyenlala]

@CubePhil @芒果乾 Thanks for your replies. I read on some pages that the CSC application portal will close today. It's quite confusing because some universities's deadline is in April. Anyway, I still submit my application today because I'm afraid the portal will not work starting tomorrow (I'm still waiting for my Admission letter though).

[CubePhil]

@Huyenlala I'm not sure the CSC portal will be closed. Applicants will always have access to the portal to either withdraw their application, make changes or just check their status. If you feel you have all your documents ready, then go ahead and apply today to be on the safe side. 

You can apply without getting an admission letter. Haven't read anywhere that it's a must to get an admission letter before you apply (I may be wrong).

May I know whether you are a "Type A" or "Type B" applicant and which schools you intend to/have applied to? That will probably make it easier to answer questions concerning deadlines and whatnot. 

All the best!!!

[Huyenlala]

@CubePhil It is not a must to get Admission letter, but my plan is I apply for an Admission letter first, so that I can make sure I can get admitted to the school that I want (hopefully). I've just had my interview for Renmin University last week and now I'm waiting for the result. I'm appying for Type A (Asean Network University), their deadline is April 15, so I have two more weeks to submit my documents.

For Type A (through Embassy) in my country, it is quite weird that it requires the applicants to work in a government office or in public education for at least one year, so it takes the chance away for people like me. So sad...

I'm not sure if anyone's ever asked this question, (I'm sorry if I'm repeating it), but anyone knows how we can get the one language study before your master program starts? I have a HSK5 certificate but I'm soooooo scared that it's insufficient for understanding academic knowledge in class.
