Provincial Scholarship

Provincial scholarships are scholarships funded by Chinese provincial or municipal governments to attract international students to study in their regions. Unlike the central Chinese Government Scholarship (CGS), these awards are administered at the provincial level and vary significantly by location.

Coverage typically includes tuition waivers and a living stipend, though the specific benefits depend on the funding province and the participating institution. Some provinces offer additional benefits such as accommodation subsidies or insurance coverage. The selection criteria, application deadlines, and available quotas differ across provinces.

International students may apply for provincial scholarships through their intended university or through provincial education departments. These scholarships are often available at universities that are not designated CGS institutions, expanding access to a wider range of institutions across China.
