I’m 18 from Arizona I’m about to graduate high school, studying abroad is something I’ve always wanted, but am still intimidated in college itself… I’m a little lost with what I want to study still as well I don’t think I would do well in China 😅
Welcome to the channel! You are still young and haven’t entered university yet so you have plenty of time to figure out where you want to go. If your plan is to study in the US but do an exchange program abroad then you still have a couple of years to do some research and talk to the coordinators at your university. If you want to do the entire degree abroad then I suggest maybe taking a gap year to figure out exactly where you want to go and do extensive research to see how your chosen place fits your needs and wants. I’ll admit China is a huge step out of the comfort zone especially if you are from the US or western cultures. However, it’s not to say that you can’t do it! You just have to prepare yourself for the ups and downs which will most definitely happen. If China is too much of a big step, try researching a western culture country(e.g. in Europe, North or South America) which can be much easier to assimilate into. Anyways, enough of my rambling. I hope this helps and good luck on your search! Definitely reach out to myself and others in case you need more help👍🏾
Hi Diandre! Very helpful video! I’m actually really interested in applying to the exact same program at this uni via CSC. Could you please share your experience about the interview and how the program has been so far?
Diandre, great job with the video. It's very informative and to the point! Thank you. I'd like to ask a question based on your experience/knowledge. Have you ever heard about a chinese university accepting a student past the application deadline? I'm going to be a self funded language (non degree) student. It's a little for the sept sem, but i was wondering while that sept sem is still a month away. Do the uni's fill in seats for the course post dedlines? Just in case you ever heard about that from someone or your thoughts. Thanks again
Hello, glad you found the video helpful! As for the late fill-ins, I have not heard of this before. It may be possible but from my experience, I have not seen it happen. I'd suggest contacting the target uni for more answers.
If there is no English option then that school probably doesn't offer that program in English so you will have to find another school that offers it. Many English programs do not require HSK to start but you will need to pass a certain HSK level to graduate. You will also have to take Chinese courses during your studies.
Thank you for this video! I'm thinking of applying to Exchange so I was looking for scholarships but I couldn't be sure if they are available for exchange students ( or to my department, some scholarships only for students who study chinese etc as their major) soo you gave me hope hahah and which scholarship did you applied while you were doing exchange? Currently I'm taking chinese classes but I'm not sure if I can pass the hsk3 on time for scholarships but I'm trying my best
Hey! Majority of the scholarships I applied to were offered from my uni. Thats the first place I suggest you search. Try to schedule a meeting with one of the study abroad coordinators at your uni and ask them about the scholarship opportunities. Then there are many outside resources offering scholarships for exchange studies which you can find through a quick google search. Best piece of advice is to spend time writing a quality essay for the ones that require it. Thats how I was awarded my scholarships. Take the HSK test regardless. You don’t lose anything if you don’t pass and you may end up surprising yourself on how much you know. Good luck and I hope you get a chance to study abroad!
Unfortunately my uni doesn't offer scholarships for exchange, this is why I was searching for others 🥲 thank you for replying in a short while, I appreciate it. I'll take the hsk exam thank you for encouraging me 💕
Hello! Nice video, I got CSC scholarship, selected for ECNU MA in Anthropology this year alhmdulillah. Hope to meet you soon. Would you mind making a video of an International Student Dormitory? Good luck! It's always a pleasure to watch your videos.
Hi Don! I'm preparing to apply through my country's embassy. I'm expecting they will post the scholarship in early Dec and usually it only lasts 1 month. Since one of the required docs is the University's acceptance letter, I wonder how long it took you to receive yours so I work on that ASAP, I'm just scared I won't receive it on time by the time I need to submit my documents to the embassy. Also, which Uni are you attending? I'm so excited to apply and your video helped a lot! Hope I can make it there!
Hello KaMi! It took around 2- 2&1/2 months to receive my acceptance letter from the university. I’m sure your embassy would understand so speak with them if the deadlines are approaching and you have yet to receive acceptance. Also, I attend East China Normal University. Thanks for watching! Glad I could help!
Hello! I do know some Chinese. I'm in the HSK 4 level of study. However, I don't always practice speaking so I always say I'm not that good😅. I have not taken any true Chinese courses with the exception of an online beginners course for a semester during the virus era. I think everyone learns at a different pace. I truthfully believe that practicing speaking is the best way to learn as I have seen some friends do it since I have been here. If you take an intensive language program here in person, it is very common to progress to conversational fluency in the span of 1 year. I hope this helps. Thanks for watching!
hi,..I did my hsk 3 and passed. I have studied Chinese for one year. kindly assist me in getting a fully funded scholarship September intake, 1year in china. I got the requirements. I am from Kenya. Thank you🙏🙏
Hey! Do you have any recs for the motivational letter? Should i talk about my interest in china, my interest in the uni or my interest in the chosen major?🙈 thank u!
This is actually a great question. I think you should talk about what is most compelling and unique to your specific situation but definitely add in some info about each of those topics. I'd say the idea is to stand out with a distinctive story but tie it into what makes you want to study in China.
Don Dre, Thank you so much for that video! I was just wondering whether they will need me to send my documents through a courier or if I can send digital versions of them if you've any information in regards to that.
Hi! Thank you for all the usefull infos! I have 2 questions; First one: is there a specific time to apply? Second: I finished high school 3 years ago and started working, now i want to go to university in my country but as i want to study to become a translator for chinese, i think studying this in china would be definitely better. My question is do I have to be already in university to be able to apply for the scholarship? Thank you!
For your first question, I believe that there are specific deadlines but I am unsure of them for the current term. These deadlines could also different depending on the scholarship type you are applying for. It is best to refer to the official websites of your target university or the embassy that you are applying through if you choose that option. As for your second question, you can receive a scholarship for a language program specifically. You do not have to be enrolled in a university to apply. In that case, you will be taking intensive or standard chinese courses (some programs may also allow you to take a few other course such as business) that will prepare you to take the HSK exam at the end of your term.
Hi, thanks for this info. I've got a question though, I've finished my application and have gotten accepted by Zhejiang University (yay me💅) but I'm yet to hear anything from CSC, it's just showing "submitted" The main problem here is I've got until the 7th of May to pay up my tuition fee.
Congratulations on your acceptance!🎉As for the CSC application, reach out to the program coordinator’s and let them know the situation. They may have further information or will know what the next steps to take will be
I think it all depends on the competition and the judges. I would suggest making up for “bad grades” in your study plan. You can sell yourself with your interests, previous experiences, hobbies, and any leadership opportunities you have been involved in. Also express how those experiences will shape your studying experience at your target university in China.
As far as applying while already being enrolled at a university in your home country I am not sure. How would you be able to study in both countries at once?
Hi, thanks for doing this video. I'm a recently high school graduate with 17 yo interested in applying for applied physics at undergraduate degree, however I'm not fluent in English and have no IELTS/TOEFL certificate. Is important to have an English certified? And you can apply only with the Paperwork or do you need to do an interview, becouse as i said I'm not fluent and my speking is in like B1 level. I'm totally sure that i want to study Chinese, so an English program isn't necessarily. For what i know you can opt for a year of chinese
Hello, you do not need English if your program is in Chinese however you will need to pass the required HSK exam(exam) for the program you apply for. As for the interview yes you will need to have an interview even after submitting the documents but you will probably be interviewed in Chinese. If you do decide to take an English program, then you will need to pass the IELTS or equivalent English exam.
Great video, thanks a lot for it! I am currently finishing my bachelor program and going to pass IELTS next summer. I try to search for information, but haven't got quite an answer yet: are there any full coverage scholarships for the ones who don't know english? I am willing to study at English during my master's degree, but a lot of these scholarships have a requirement to know Chinese. I will really appreciate if someone tells me about it
Thank you for watching! I think there was a typo and you meant scholarships for those who don’t know Chinese. But yes there is! You just have to find a program that is taught in English. However, even programs taught in English may require you to pass a certain HSK level before you graduate in which you will take Chinese courses and the HSK test during your studies in China. I hope this answers your question. Good luck on your exams!
Thanks so much dondre I want to apply for bachelor's degree for computer science, which uni is good for a fully funded program? Please i need ur advice
Hey thanks for uploading, useful stuff to know! Do you know if you can apply for the CSC Scholarship if you’re already in China, or can you only apply from your home country? Also for accommodation - if you get awarded the scholarship, would you be expected to share a room with someone else? And are you able to live off-campus while in receipt of the scholarship? Cheers again!
Hello, Yes you can apply for the scholarship if you are already in China. I have some friends who are in the process of applying right now. As for accommodation, it depends on the school's dorm styles. Many of the dorms have two-person rooms or even 4 person rooms. There are also some dorms that are individual rooms like mine. You can move off campus while receiving the scholarship but the school will not cover your rent. Thank you for watching!😁
This means that for example if it is a 4 year degree, you would instead have 5 years. The first year will only be Chinese language courses in order to improve your Chinese to prepare for the courses. The following 4 years you will spend taking major specific courses and completing the degree requirements.
Hi, Thanks for your support. I have one question, Does physical examination done by Chinese doctors or it can should be done by any hospital in my home country ?? And thanks for your support
Your physical can be done by any doctor in your home country. Once you arrive in China you will have to go through another physical examination in order to obtain your residence permit.
Hi Don, I’m currently a senior university student in Africa and will be out next year and want to apply for the CSC scholarship program, what do you think is the best way possible?
Yes! You just have to find a program that offers English courses. You will most likely still be required to achieve some HSK level before you graduate. Generally around HSK 3-4 you will have to pass to graduate but your school will offer you Chinese language courses along with your regular major specific courses.
I believe there are opportunities for corporate law majors however I am not familiar with them. I suggest searching around google for universities that offer those programs
You will need files from your school to apply for the visa. They will send you all the necessary files you need to apply for your visa after you have been accepted
Most of the scholarships do not cover travel. However, I know some people who received the CSC type A(I think) full-ride scholarship(from the embassy in their country) that did cover their flight to China. Check the embassy in your country to see if they offer scholarships. If they do, speak to them to ask what the scholarship entails and if it covers the flight costs.
Unfortunately, I don't have any link to the list of requirements but the requirements would be on each universities official pages. As for CS programs, you can start by searching the web for Chinese universities that offer CS. You can also search for the top schools in the nation and explore each one for their individual programs.
Unfortunately I don’t have a direct link however, the schools generally have a hyperlink on their website to apply for scholarships. You can search schools in China and once you find the programs you are interested in, check on the website of that university to see if they offer scholarships for that program
Hi, friends, I'm going to graduate this year with a degree in human from the University of TV in Africa, but I really want to do a study in China, so I would like anyone who knows universities that offer opportunities for African students to study in China with scholarships to tell me about it, I would like to share information with me, because now I don't have any information and I just feel that I want to go to China, but I don't have any information about mosques, I would like to know with my own eyes, if you
Are there age limits to be elegible? I have heard in some videos 25 years old to be elegible for a bachelor degree, but I have talked with Chinese people and they told me there aren't any age requirement. It's so confused. I know about age limits to get scholarship, but what about if it's selffunded?
To apply for the scholarship, the applicant must be under 25 for a bachelor's, under 35 for a master, and under 40 for PhD. If you are self-funded, there should be no requirement.
Hi Don. I just watch all of your videos.. I had applied in same university and got nominated as a csc candidate also my application is in process in csc a few days ago.. I just want to clarify that how much chances i have to select for the final evaluation of scholarship. I am just worried. Hope you answer my question
Thank you for the support🙏🏾 I received 2 emails about acceptance. The first email was acceptance of enrollment and then the second email was confirmation that I was awarded the scholarship. I did not have to wait for a “final evaluation”. I am unsure what you mean about that so I suggest you reach out to the contacts at the university for further assistance on that part. I assume since you were nominated as a candidate that you will be awarded the scholarship but I am not 100% sure. Anyways congratulations and I hope you get officially awarded! Almost there🎉
Generally the scholarship application and program application processes are outlined on the university’s website. If I remember correctly you apply to the program and then apply for the scholarship directly after. I suggest you alert the university before or ask the school advisor for more clear instructions
Hii!, I have a doubt about the english certificate. The universities ask for the TOELF or the IELTS certificate, but I have the B2 level certificate of cambridge that is equivalent. Do you know if they accept it or I have to get the IELTS/TOELF?
I suggest that you should consult with your target schools counselor for more accurate information. I know that generally TOELF or IELTS are required if you come from a non English speaking country. Other than that, I’m not sure what else is acceptable as an equivalent.
Hello sir! I am currently in grade 12, I will graduate from high school by next year, mid-june 2025. So I want to know if I can apply for CSC scholarship to go to university in China in september. Can I do that? Thank you
@@itsDiandre Thank you for that information, sir. But in both the type A and type B scholarship they all require the "highest diploma certificate". may i know what should I do with that? because I haven't obtained my high school certificate yet. or should I request a "pre-graduation certificate" from my school then upload it to that section of the scholarship application? and If i do so, do I just upload it like that or should I consult with the admission office or anything before first? thank you
@@kanikahuot3409 I think you should consult with the admission office first. They will most likely have you request from your current school the pre-graduation certificate but confirm with admissions before sending in your documents
It all depends on the program you apply for. If it’s a Chinese based program then you may be required to have HSK level 4 or 5. If it’s an English based program you are not required to know Chinese ahead of time but you may need to take Chinese classes throughout your program and eventually pass HSK 3 or 4 to graduate. For a language program, you don’t need to know Chinese
Yes it is depending on which school you apply to. There are some schools that don’t require it. As for the language certificate, that is great as long as your target university accepts it. They may want an official certificate from a reputable organization (e.g IELTS, HSK).
If I graduated from high school but am now taking a technical course, am I still eligible to try to get a undergraduate or is there any impediment? In the case of letters of recommendation, can they be from teachers of the technical course or must they be from teachers at my high school?
Yes you will still be eligible! Your program coordinators may ask about your technical course due to the “gap” in studying but it should not hinder your chances. As for the recommendation letters, I’m not fully sure if you are allowed to use references from your technical course. I would suggest maybe mixing in professors from both but using the ones who will give you the best recommendation letters
Hi I'm a last year bachelor student and i want to apply for master degree in this scholarship I need to know if that possible or I have to get my bachelor degree first and apply the next year
You do not need to have your bachelor’s degree first however the university you apply to will ask you to get a signed form from your current university stating your intended graduation date.
@@itsDiandre thanks for answering, another question. I understand the scholarship is for 3 years for masters. Do they give you one year of full study in Chinese and then you start your master, or you start the Chinese classes and master's classes since the first year?
There are also scholarships such as CSC available for undergraduate students. Most if not all of the information in this video pertains to Bachelor’s, Master’s, and Phd applicants😁
I reckon that good grades are a big plus but I think other things matter as well such as previous experiences, activities, and your study plan and goals in China
@@itsDiandre I’m thinking of applying for a software engineering bachelor degree with my BAC (high school equiv) cus i did a 2year diploma after (in network IT and cybersSec ) but I guess They won’t recognize it, will it count as an experience? Or will it hold me back since I’m not a fresh high school graduate, and thanks for everything
@@creed404yt9 It should count as experience. But it definitely won't hold you back! As long as you are under the age of 25 (I believe this is still the age), then you can apply for a bachelors program. I hope all goes well! Good luck!!
I know this comment is long but please give me some sort of advice or tip on this situation. Bro I know I left a like on this video but I feel like Just trying to go to China alone is impossible. Why do I say this? Because of my parents and how much we've been brainwashed into thinking China is bad. Another thing to mention is how expensive it is to visit China alone. Today I have tried booking a plane ticket to China, which nearly cost me all of my savings. Another thing is the fact that my family prefers me to go to hong kong than mainland China which is absolute bull shit. Not to curse excuse me for my foul language. I am 20 years old and yes I still live with my parents because making a living without my parents is nearly impossible, especially with inflation. I have no idea if you are in China or America but I have to rant. I have to rant especially when I see my cousins who are the same age as me or a year or two older than me traveling to foreign countries. I have a genuine passion for China and yes I want to take my family's business to the next level in China. So My initial plan was to visit China at least at the age of 20 or under the age of 20 so that when I am older I have a properly developed plan on what to do and how to do it but my family keeps letting me down and on top of that they keep adding cards in the mix like, "You're black and Chinese people don't like black people!!!" or "China is communist THEY WILL COOK YOU UP AND EAT YOU!!!" or to add the cherry on top, "You are only 20 years old you have your whole life ahead of you what is the rush? Besides America is better than China why China out of all countries?". My parents keep letting me down. However I want to thank you for making this video. I don't know what the hell it's going to take me to go to China but I am mentally depressed and now feel envious on the fact that I see people travel and I'm the only one that can't travel and I work my ass off to get nothing but loss of money in return. This makes me feel depressed and want to give up on life!!! I have tried convincing my parents, showing my parents videos like this one, researching China in depth, and trying to tell my parents about my passion for life. I don't want to be 28 years old visiting China for the first time. I don't want to be 35 years old studying in China. I don't want to be in the rat race. I know this comment was long but thank you for reading it
First and foremost, there is no need to apologize for leaving such a long comment. I want my comments to be an open form of communication for anyone to ask questions, let off their frustrations, or find others who are in similar situations. I realized that there are many people who have interests in some of the things I do which is one of the reasons why I decided to upload videos in the first place. Secondly, you have to take a step back and analyze your current situation. Comparison is the thief of joy. I know it’s a hard concept to come to terms with but you will only make yourself more frustrated and depressed if you are comparing yourself to the highlights of life from your peers. Never fall victim to feeling FOMO based on the “good times” of what you see on social media from the small percentage of people around the world. As for your parents, I can’t speak much on how to address that situation because you know them best but research and presenting a clear plan can maybe help lighten their views. There is a lot of propaganda circulating around some of which is true and some of it is not. However, it is up to you to visit your desired location to come up with your own conclusions. Whether thats with the support of your parents or not is based on your personal situation. If you are truly interested in visiting China now with little funds, the best way to do it is to apply for a scholarship. Regardless, I STRONGLY suggest to try to build some savings before arriving because there is many expected and unexpected costs (e.g. residence permit, medical exam, cost of living, events, nights out with friends). In the end, you are still very young and have a lifetime to experience and travel to your desired locations. No need to rush if it is not the right time for you. I know you said thats not what you want but everyones situation is different and if you did all of your due diligence and took all the necessary steps to make it happen but things didn’t work out then thats okay. Just continue working on it until you make your dreams a reality. If you ever have any more questions or doubts, my TH-cam comments or my Instagram (@itsdiandre) are the best way to reach out to me and I will try to help you to the best of my knowledge when I get the chance. Thanks for watching and commenting and I’m hoping you get the chance to live your dreams!

First one: is there a specific time to apply?
Second: I finished high school 3 years ago and started working, now i want to go to university in my country but as i want to study to become a translator for chinese, i think studying this in china would be definitely better. My question is do I have to be already in university to be able to apply for the scholarship? Thank you!
For your first question, I believe that there are specific deadlines but I am unsure of them for the current term. These deadlines could also different depending on the scholarship type you are applying for. It is best to refer to the official websites of your target university or the embassy that you are applying through if you choose that option.
As for your second question, you can receive a scholarship for a language program specifically. You do not have to be enrolled in a university to apply. In that case, you will be taking intensive or standard chinese courses (some programs may also allow you to take a few other course such as business) that will prepare you to take the HSK exam at the end of your term.
Hi, thanks for this info. I've got a question though, I've finished my application and have gotten accepted by Zhejiang University (yay me💅) but I'm yet to hear anything from CSC, it's just showing "submitted"
The main problem here is I've got until the 7th of May to pay up my tuition fee.
Congratulations on your acceptance!🎉As for the CSC application, reach out to the program coordinator’s and let them know the situation. They may have further information or will know what the next steps to take will be
Hi! Really good videos, I'm thinking about applying next year, but the question is what would happen if I had bad grades.
Hi, i have one more question, can i apply if i have already enrolled an university in my country?
I think it all depends on the competition and the judges. I would suggest making up for “bad grades” in your study plan. You can sell yourself with your interests, previous experiences, hobbies, and any leadership opportunities you have been involved in. Also express how those experiences will shape your studying experience at your target university in China.
As far as applying while already being enrolled at a university in your home country I am not sure. How would you be able to study in both countries at once?
Can I apply for Chinese scholarships if I haven't finished school yet?
Hi, thanks for doing this video. I'm a recently high school graduate with 17 yo interested in applying for applied physics at undergraduate degree, however I'm not fluent in English and have no IELTS/TOEFL certificate. Is important to have an English certified? And you can apply only with the Paperwork or do you need to do an interview, becouse as i said I'm not fluent and my speking is in like B1 level. I'm totally sure that i want to study Chinese, so an English program isn't necessarily. For what i know you can opt for a year of chinese
Hello, you do not need English if your program is in Chinese however you will need to pass the required HSK exam(exam) for the program you apply for. As for the interview yes you will need to have an interview even after submitting the documents but you will probably be interviewed in Chinese. If you do decide to take an English program, then you will need to pass the IELTS or equivalent English exam.
Great video, thanks a lot for it! I am currently finishing my bachelor program and going to pass IELTS next summer. I try to search for information, but haven't got quite an answer yet: are there any full coverage scholarships for the ones who don't know english? I am willing to study at English during my master's degree, but a lot of these scholarships have a requirement to know Chinese. I will really appreciate if someone tells me about it
Thank you for watching! I think there was a typo and you meant scholarships for those who don’t know Chinese. But yes there is! You just have to find a program that is taught in English. However, even programs taught in English may require you to pass a certain HSK level before you graduate in which you will take Chinese courses and the HSK test during your studies in China. I hope this answers your question. Good luck on your exams!
Thanks so much dondre
I want to apply for bachelor's degree for computer science, which uni is good for a fully funded program? Please i need ur advice
I would like to do this. Have you learned anything that might help me?
share with us some fully funded application links
Hey thanks for uploading, useful stuff to know!
Do you know if you can apply for the CSC Scholarship if you’re already in China, or can you only apply from your home country?
Also for accommodation - if you get awarded the scholarship, would you be expected to share a room with someone else? And are you able to live off-campus while in receipt of the scholarship?
Cheers again!
Hello, Yes you can apply for the scholarship if you are already in China. I have some friends who are in the process of applying right now.
As for accommodation, it depends on the school's dorm styles. Many of the dorms have two-person rooms or even 4 person rooms. There are also some dorms that are individual rooms like mine. You can move off campus while receiving the scholarship but the school will not cover your rent.
Thank you for watching!😁
@@itsDiandre Ah awesome, do you know what types (A, B or C) your friends are applying for? Good to know about the accommodation as well, thanks again!
@@PsychosisFire I was told that they were applying for scholarships directly through the school but I am sure that there are other options as well
I wanna apply for cis scholarship but i don't know how
hello sir please when the say Application for additional 1 year language study allowed (Chinese Taught Programs Only).what does it means
This means that for example if it is a 4 year degree, you would instead have 5 years. The first year will only be Chinese language courses in order to improve your Chinese to prepare for the courses. The following 4 years you will spend taking major specific courses and completing the degree requirements.
Hii Diandre!! 🧚 I would like to know whats the deadline for csc scholarship or maybe the last Month
I am not sure of the deadline. Reach out to the supervisors at your target Uni.
Hi, Thanks for your support. I have one question, Does physical examination done by Chinese doctors or it can should be done by any hospital in my home country ?? And thanks for your support
Your physical can be done by any doctor in your home country. Once you arrive in China you will have to go through another physical examination in order to obtain your residence permit.
Hi Don, I’m currently a senior university student in Africa and will be out next year and want to apply for the CSC scholarship program, what do you think is the best way possible?
Hi Don! Question, so did y’all have an orientation with the scholars who got accepted?
Yes, however, mine was online due to the pandemic. Also, mine was with the scholars accepted at my specific university.
Is it possible to study my bachelor's degree in English applying to CSC scholerships?
Yes! You just have to find a program that offers English courses. You will most likely still be required to achieve some HSK level before you graduate. Generally around HSK 3-4 you will have to pass to graduate but your school will offer you Chinese language courses along with your regular major specific courses.
is there any chance of studying cooperative law in china after graduating from secondary school please and what are the necessary requirements?
I believe there are opportunities for corporate law majors however I am not familiar with them. I suggest searching around google for universities that offer those programs
Hi please so when should i go apply for visa, is it when the school gives me their scholarship grant or while waiting?
You will need files from your school to apply for the visa. They will send you all the necessary files you need to apply for your visa after you have been accepted
Do the scholarship covers both travel expenditures
Most of the scholarships do not cover travel. However, I know some people who received the CSC type A(I think) full-ride scholarship(from the embassy in their country) that did cover their flight to China. Check the embassy in your country to see if they offer scholarships. If they do, speak to them to ask what the scholarship entails and if it covers the flight costs.
Hi Don! Any link to check out requirements & list of universities offering Computer science for international students? Thanks
Unfortunately, I don't have any link to the list of requirements but the requirements would be on each universities official pages. As for CS programs, you can start by searching the web for Chinese universities that offer CS. You can also search for the top schools in the nation and explore each one for their individual programs.
@@itsDiandre Thanks man! Dalian university of Technology is on my list.
can you please drop a link for the application form ?
Unfortunately I don’t have a direct link however, the schools generally have a hyperlink on their website to apply for scholarships. You can search schools in China and once you find the programs you are interested in, check on the website of that university to see if they offer scholarships for that program
Hi, friends, I'm going to graduate this year with a degree in human from the University of TV in Africa, but I really want to do a study in China, so I would like anyone who knows universities that offer opportunities for African students to study in China with scholarships to tell me about it, I would like to share information with me, because now I don't have any information and I just feel that I want to go to China, but I don't have any information about mosques, I would like to know with my own eyes, if you
Are there age limits to be elegible? I have heard in some videos 25 years old to be elegible for a bachelor degree, but I have talked with Chinese people and they told me there aren't any age requirement. It's so confused.
I know about age limits to get scholarship, but what about if it's selffunded?
To apply for the scholarship, the applicant must be under 25 for a bachelor's, under 35 for a master, and under 40 for PhD. If you are self-funded, there should be no requirement.
@@itsDiandreIf you are self funded, there are still age limits.
@@itsDiandre Ages have changed. I am 25 years old and I got the scholarship. Now for a bachelor's degree it can be up to 30 years.
@@ferandre7825 Even better! Congrats!
@@itsDiandre How much is the scholarship?
Sir I took 3 years to complete my intermediate with 50 % can i get full scholarship plz tell me ?
This will be up to the CSC committee and the school you apply for. I suggest still applying because you have a chance of being awarded
Hi Don. I just watch all of your videos.. I had applied in same university and got nominated as a csc candidate also my application is in process in csc a few days ago.. I just want to clarify that how much chances i have to select for the final evaluation of scholarship. I am just worried. Hope you answer my question
Thank you for the support🙏🏾 I received 2 emails about acceptance. The first email was acceptance of enrollment and then the second email was confirmation that I was awarded the scholarship. I did not have to wait for a “final evaluation”. I am unsure what you mean about that so I suggest you reach out to the contacts at the university for further assistance on that part. I assume since you were nominated as a candidate that you will be awarded the scholarship but I am not 100% sure. Anyways congratulations and I hope you get officially awarded! Almost there🎉
@@itsDiandre thanku for your kind words and information 🙂😇
Did you get in?
@@BongiBoi waiting for final results
Hey, what’s the name of the university?
Hi,l can apply to the csc scholarship through university AFTER l get enrolled yes?and we need to alert university before that l want scholarship?
Generally the scholarship application and program application processes are outlined on the university’s website. If I remember correctly you apply to the program and then apply for the scholarship directly after. I suggest you alert the university before or ask the school advisor for more clear instructions
Can I apply for Chinese scholarships if I haven't finished school yet?
Yes. Your target school in China will have you submit a form signed by your current school that states your intended graduation date.
Hii!, I have a doubt about the english certificate. The universities ask for the TOELF or the IELTS certificate, but I have the B2 level certificate of cambridge that is equivalent. Do you know if they accept it or I have to get the IELTS/TOELF?
I suggest that you should consult with your target schools counselor for more accurate information. I know that generally TOELF or IELTS are required if you come from a non English speaking country. Other than that, I’m not sure what else is acceptable as an equivalent.
Hello sir! I am currently in grade 12, I will graduate from high school by next year, mid-june 2025. So I want to know if I can apply for CSC scholarship to go to university in China in september. Can I do that? Thank you
Yes you should be able to! I suggest you begin to apply ASAP in order to enroll for next September as it is a fairly long process.
@@itsDiandre Thank you for that information, sir. But in both the type A and type B scholarship they all require the "highest diploma certificate". may i know what should I do with that? because I haven't obtained my high school certificate yet. or should I request a "pre-graduation certificate" from my school then upload it to that section of the scholarship application? and If i do so, do I just upload it like that or should I consult with the admission office or anything before first? thank you
@@kanikahuot3409 I think you should consult with the admission office first. They will most likely have you request from your current school the pre-graduation certificate but confirm with admissions before sending in your documents
Should you know how to speak Chinese before applying
It all depends on the program you apply for. If it’s a Chinese based program then you may be required to have HSK level 4 or 5. If it’s an English based program you are not required to know Chinese ahead of time but you may need to take Chinese classes throughout your program and eventually pass HSK 3 or 4 to graduate. For a language program, you don’t need to know Chinese
Thank you, what if i don't have passport, can i apply to Chinese scholarship I'm also applied for passport, that i get after two months?
I believe you will need your passport. See if you can expedite it. Also work with your target university to see if you can apply with out it for now.
@@itsDiandre
They said to me, No. I will apply second time urgent passport 🤷
Hello, do you know when IS the deadline to apply?
I am not sure of the deadline. Consult your target Uni.
Can I apply for CSC scholarship for mbbs program in English??
You have to find a school that offers that program in English and apply there directly
@@itsDiandre yeah but it's rare to have a scholarship given by the university itself for mbbs program , so this won't work with CSC scholarship?
Hello, is it possible just to travel to know chinese language?
Yes, there are language programs offered at many schools in China. You can take a semester program or a year program.
I want to study theater art is it possible
You need to find a uni that accepts the csc and offers a program for it. If so, then yes
Is GMAT or SAT compulsory ?
Also we get a language certificate from the school we were attending before
Yes it is depending on which school you apply to. There are some schools that don’t require it. As for the language certificate, that is great as long as your target university accepts it. They may want an official certificate from a reputable organization (e.g IELTS, HSK).
Is this scholarship is also for undergraduate students?
Yes!
Hey man is it possible to apply for the CSC scholarship whilst already in China study the language?
I think it is possible. Im unsure of the process but check with advisors at your target Uni.
If I graduated from high school but am now taking a technical course, am I still eligible to try to get a undergraduate or is there any impediment?
In the case of letters of recommendation, can they be from teachers of the technical course or must they be from teachers at my high school?
Yes you will still be eligible! Your program coordinators may ask about your technical course due to the “gap” in studying but it should not hinder your chances. As for the recommendation letters, I’m not fully sure if you are allowed to use references from your technical course. I would suggest maybe mixing in professors from both but using the ones who will give you the best recommendation letters
@@itsDiandre very thankful for your answer !
Bro can you please tell me silkroad scholarship has benn announced or not ?
I am unfamiliar with this scholarship so I do not know if has been announced. Contact your university for any further information.
Hi I'm a last year bachelor student and i want to apply for master degree in this scholarship I need to know if that possible or I have to get my bachelor degree first and apply the next year
You do not need to have your bachelor’s degree first however the university you apply to will ask you to get a signed form from your current university stating your intended graduation date.
Thanks for your replying 😊
Good morning from Nigeria, am an international undergraduate student, please can you recommend a nice school where I can apply
Hello, I suggest you do your own research based on what you plan on studying and where in China you want to study
i need it.
You will get it! Speak it into existence 🙌🏾
Can I study nursing with CSC?
I’m pretty sure you can. You just have to find a uni that accepts csc and offers that program
Hi, please can you work as a masters student?
You can get an internship as a student. If you want to work full-time, you must get a work visa first then you can study also.
Greetings dear,am from Sierra Leone please help.
Are you allowed to travel outside China even if you have the scholarship?
Yes!
@@itsDiandre thanks for answering, another question. I understand the scholarship is for 3 years for masters. Do they give you one year of full study in Chinese and then you start your master, or you start the Chinese classes and master's classes since the first year?
I think it depends on the program. My master's is 2 years and I had Chinese classes during a couple semesters.@@Nami-rw6cw
Can i still apply for the scholarship now
Yes! These scholarships are offered every year
@@itsDiandre thank you
I need a one and one guidance
Send me a DM on instagram @itsdiandre
Is GMAT or SAT necessary?
Yes! It depends on what school you apply to. It is a requirement for many but there are some universities that do not require it.
Did these universities announce their results, please answer me. 1- Beijing Institute of Technology 2- Henan University 3- Peking University
I do not know. I am not affiliated with any of those universities or the CSC. You should contact them for answers.
is any foreigner students in China？
Yes! There are plenty of foreign students from various countries currently studying in China
What if u undergraduate
There are also scholarships such as CSC available for undergraduate students. Most if not all of the information in this video pertains to Bachelor’s, Master’s, and Phd applicants😁
Do you need good marks to benefit from one?
I reckon that good grades are a big plus but I think other things matter as well such as previous experiences, activities, and your study plan and goals in China
@@itsDiandre I’m thinking of applying for a software engineering bachelor degree with my BAC (high school equiv) cus i did a 2year diploma after (in network IT and cybersSec ) but I guess They won’t recognize it, will it count as an experience? Or will it hold me back since I’m not a fresh high school graduate, and thanks for everything
@@creed404yt9 It should count as experience. But it definitely won't hold you back! As long as you are under the age of 25 (I believe this is still the age), then you can apply for a bachelors program. I hope all goes well! Good luck!!
@@itsDiandre thanks man
Is it still available?
Yes. These scholarships are available every year!
I know this comment is long but please give me some sort of advice or tip on this situation.
Bro I know I left a like on this video but I feel like Just trying to go to China alone is impossible. Why do I say this? Because of my parents and how much we've been brainwashed into thinking China is bad. Another thing to mention is how expensive it is to visit China alone. Today I have tried booking a plane ticket to China, which nearly cost me all of my savings. Another thing is the fact that my family prefers me to go to hong kong than mainland China which is absolute bull shit. Not to curse excuse me for my foul language. I am 20 years old and yes I still live with my parents because making a living without my parents is nearly impossible, especially with inflation. I have no idea if you are in China or America but I have to rant. I have to rant especially when I see my cousins who are the same age as me or a year or two older than me traveling to foreign countries. I have a genuine passion for China and yes I want to take my family's business to the next level in China. So My initial plan was to visit China at least at the age of 20 or under the age of 20 so that when I am older I have a properly developed plan on what to do and how to do it but my family keeps letting me down and on top of that they keep adding cards in the mix like, "You're black and Chinese people don't like black people!!!" or "China is communist THEY WILL COOK YOU UP AND EAT YOU!!!" or to add the cherry on top, "You are only 20 years old you have your whole life ahead of you what is the rush? Besides America is better than China why China out of all countries?". My parents keep letting me down. However I want to thank you for making this video. I don't know what the hell it's going to take me to go to China but I am mentally depressed and now feel envious on the fact that I see people travel and I'm the only one that can't travel and I work my ass off to get nothing but loss of money in return. This makes me feel depressed and want to give up on life!!! I have tried convincing my parents, showing my parents videos like this one, researching China in depth, and trying to tell my parents about my passion for life. I don't want to be 28 years old visiting China for the first time. I don't want to be 35 years old studying in China. I don't want to be in the rat race. I know this comment was long but thank you for reading it
First and foremost, there is no need to apologize for leaving such a long comment. I want my comments to be an open form of communication for anyone to ask questions, let off their frustrations, or find others who are in similar situations. I realized that there are many people who have interests in some of the things I do which is one of the reasons why I decided to upload videos in the first place. Secondly, you have to take a step back and analyze your current situation. Comparison is the thief of joy. I know it’s a hard concept to come to terms with but you will only make yourself more frustrated and depressed if you are comparing yourself to the highlights of life from your peers. Never fall victim to feeling FOMO based on the “good times” of what you see on social media from the small percentage of people around the world. As for your parents, I can’t speak much on how to address that situation because you know them best but research and presenting a clear plan can maybe help lighten their views. There is a lot of propaganda circulating around some of which is true and some of it is not. However, it is up to you to visit your desired location to come up with your own conclusions. Whether thats with the support of your parents or not is based on your personal situation. If you are truly interested in visiting China now with little funds, the best way to do it is to apply for a scholarship. Regardless, I STRONGLY suggest to try to build some savings before arriving because there is many expected and unexpected costs (e.g. residence permit, medical exam, cost of living, events, nights out with friends). In the end, you are still very young and have a lifetime to experience and travel to your desired locations. No need to rush if it is not the right time for you. I know you said thats not what you want but everyones situation is different and if you did all of your due diligence and took all the necessary steps to make it happen but things didn’t work out then thats okay. Just continue working on it until you make your dreams a reality. If you ever have any more questions or doubts, my TH-cam comments or my Instagram (@itsdiandre) are the best way to reach out to me and I will try to help you to the best of my knowledge when I get the chance. Thanks for watching and commenting and I’m hoping you get the chance to live your dreams!
