The Application Statement should be written in Chinese or English?

Preferably in Chinese. I applied last year with a statement written in Chinese after it was proofread by a Chinese friend.

I think Foreigner Physical Examination Form is required after the university accepts you and you get the scholarship. At least that's how it works in Europe.

but I'll apply for the  Scholarship for One-Academic-Year Study 

@Janghyeok The physical examination is required for people that want to study in China for more than six months with a X1 visa. Those who want to study for less than six months on a X2 visa do not need the physical examination.

Thank you!

Is the letter of recommendation you need supposed to be written by a person at your recommending institute?

Yes, preferably by the head of the recommending institutions.

Hi there,

I'm new to this forum but found it to be a great source of information. I am going to take the HSK 3 test at the end of this month and I wanted to apply for a confucius scholarship to learn chinese in China. In the regulations it mentions "Chinese language study" only for one year, not for half a year (one semester). Can anyone tell me whether it is possible or not to apply for a one semester language course after passing HSK 3, or does it have to be one year? (I already passed HSK 2 with full marks and HSKK with 77 but as far as I know that won't get me far in terms of application for a scholarship). Thanks!

In the first page you have the link with all the scholarships, you should be able to apply for the semester scholarship once you get the HSK3 http://cis.chinese.cn/Account/Proceduresfor?lang=en-us

But to be sure you should check in your country Confucius Institute to see if they are giving it (I guess that they give the same scholarships everywhere, but just in case and to be sure...)

Thanks, but under the page you liked it only says "Chinese Language Study" for one year course, the one semester scholarship doesn't seem to have the Language Study course. Can anyone confirm that?

[Janghyeok]

Does anyone know how long it usually takes to get to stage 3 from stage 2? I don't know when (and if) I should be worrying.

I almost completed my application. I only need one more thing: the statement. I am not sure on what I should write and how. Are there online some examples(?)

I just submitted my application to my CI! *fingercross*

 

I hope everyone in this forum can get the scholarship to the desired university! Good luck all!

@ana_hwang

Shijiazhuang? Oh, I have been there last summer. Not bad, I enjoyed it! I'll try with Tianjin university and the other I haven't decided yet

[ana_hwang]

@AstridB goodluck for the upcoming test! Where are you based at?

 

@Richard_ yes correct! Shijiazhuang! How was it? Is it as polluted as people say? Good luck with your application!

Hmm, I have been there in summer and it was actually very good but some of my friends are there now and I saw some photo. During the winter yeah, it's polluted. But the worst period lasts only a couple of week

I have a question about the accommodation provided through the scholarship. Is it always in a dorm room that you have to share with others? Or does it depend on the university? I also read that you can apply for 700RMB in order to find your own accommodation. Is that always possible and easy to do?

Thank you! I live in Scandinavia but there are very few test centres here so I have to take the tests in England
