Bachelor Degree SUFE China Scholarship Admissions Open for 2026-2027 Batch
Breaking news for international high-school graduates planning ahead — fully funded undergraduate scholarships for the 2026–2027 academic cohort are now open at the Shanghai University of Finance and Economics (SUFE), one of China’s most respected institutions for finance, economics, management, and applied social sciences. This opportunity is designed for students enrolling in September 2026, offering a rare chance to pursue a four-year bachelor’s degree in Shanghai with complete financial backing under the Shanghai Government Scholarship framework.
What makes this opportunity stand out is that it is not just admission support — it is a merit-based, fully funded undergraduate pathway created to attract academically strong international students from around the world. Open across all majors, the scholarship gives talented high-school graduates the chance to study at one of China’s top universities without worrying about tuition or living costs, making it one of the most flexible funded undergraduate options in China for the 2026 intake.
Financially, SUFE offers two powerful scholarship tracks tailored to different levels of need. The Type A Scholarship, the fully funded package, covers 100% of tuition fees, on-campus accommodation, comprehensive medical insurance, and provides a monthly living stipend of CNY 2,500, with coverage lasting the entire four-year program. The Type B Scholarship focuses on academic costs, offering a full tuition waiver and medical insurance for the standard program duration. Together, these tracks remove the biggest financial barriers to studying in Shanghai — with Type A giving students full peace of mind both academically and personally.
This scholarship is aimed at outstanding international students who are academically prepared and globally minded. Applicants must be non-Chinese citizens in good health, aged 18–25, and must have completed senior high school or be on track to receive their diploma by summer 2026. The opportunity is open to all undergraduate majors at SUFE, but candidates must demonstrate Chinese language proficiency, with a minimum HSK Level 5 score of 180, to succeed in the academic environment.
The application process follows a structured and competitive pathway that combines academic assessment with university admission. All applicants must first complete the China Scholastic Competency Assessment (CSCA) by the end of March 2026 — with the Mathematics test required for all majors, and additional subject tests in Chinese or English depending on program choice. After completing the CSCA, candidates submit their undergraduate application through the SUFE Applicant Portal, clearly indicating their intention to apply for the Shanghai Government Scholarship under the financial support section. Shortlisted students are then invited to a live online admission interview, usually held in mid-April 2026, as part of the final evaluation.
For students aiming to secure a fully funded undergraduate place in Shanghai, the timeline is critical. March 31, 2026 is the key cutoff date — it is both the final day to sit the CSCA and the deadline for submitting the undergraduate application to SUFE. Interviews are expected in mid-April 2026, with final scholarship decisions released in late May or early June 2026. Applicants who do not receive confirmation by June 30, 2026 should assume their scholarship application was unsuccessful.
For ambitious international students who dream of studying finance, economics, management, or social sciences in one of Asia’s most dynamic cities — and doing so without financial barriers — the Shanghai University of Finance and Economics Undergraduate Scholarships 2026 represent a rare, career-shaping opportunity. Full application details and official guidance are available at https://intlstu.sufe.edu.cn/d9/7e/c12473a252286/page.htm, and for students planning ahead, this could be the moment that turns a Shanghai study dream into a fully funded reality.
