Zhejiang University CSC Scholarship: Fully Funded Study

Zhejiang University CSC Scholarship supports international students pursuing full-time master’s and doctoral degrees in China. The full award includes tuition, accommodation or housing support, a stipend and medical insurance. ZJU’s published Type B notice reviewed here is for the closed 2026 round, and a new 2027 graduate application window was not confirmed as of November 1, 2026. Prepare a suitable program choice and documents while awaiting the next official call.

ZJU offers programs across many fields, but course notes matter. Some majors require a supervisor’s provisional acceptance, and certain programs do not accept CSC students. Read the scholarship notice and degree catalog together before deciding where to apply.

Courses not covered by the reviewed CSC route

The English master’s catalog states that the Global MBA and the part-time Global Manufacturing and Supply Chain Management program do not accept Chinese Government Scholarship students. Do not treat all programs in the admissions catalog as scholarship eligible.

Scholarship coverage and application costs

The official ZJU Type B funding page lists the full-award benefits below. Confirm the approved study period and conditions in your final scholarship notice.

• Tuition: full coverage for the approved scholarship period.
• Accommodation: free on-campus accommodation or an accommodation allowance.
• Living allowance: a living stipend under the approved award.
• Medical insurance: comprehensive coverage under the scholarship terms.

Prepare a realistic budget

A scholarship does not remove every expense involved in applying or preparing for travel. Identify the costs you may need to pay before registration and ask the university about unclear items. Keep personal spending separate from confirmed scholarship benefits.

Application fee

ZJU’s reviewed graduate application fee is RMB 800 and is non-refundable. The university says an unpaid application will not be processed. Follow its online payment instructions and retain evidence of payment.

Understanding the final offer

Check the approved major, institution and study period before accepting an award. The scholarship notice restricts changes to these details after admission. A university recommendation remains subject to CSC’s final review.

Eligibility, language and required documents

ZJU’s graduate guides require non-Chinese citizenship, suitable health and the relevant prior degree. Master’s applicants normally need a bachelor’s degree and age under 35; doctoral applicants need a master’s degree and age under 40. Any admission-age flexibility must be checked separately against scholarship rules.

Language requirements

ZJU’s published graduate language document lists HSK 5 with 180 for Chinese-taught study. English options include IELTS 6.5, TOEFL 90, Duolingo 120 and Cambridge CAE/CPE 180. Specified native-language or previous-instruction evidence may support an exemption; the supporting documents must be uploaded.

Application checklist

• Degree or permitted pre-graduation evidence.
• Academic transcripts.
• Language certificate or accepted exemption evidence.
• Personal statement of at least 1,500 words.
• Two academic recommendations.
