University of Chinese Academy of Sciences CSC Scholarship 2025
The University of Chinese Academy of Sciences (UCAS) has announced an incredible opportunity for international students looking to pursue master’s or doctoral studies in China through the Chinese Government Scholarship 2025. This prestigious program, supported by the Ministry of Education of the People’s Republic of China, is designed to enhance global academic partnerships and foster cultural exchange. UCAS, known for its cutting-edge research and academic excellence, is ready to welcome outstanding candidates from around the world with comprehensive support.
The scholarship covers full tuition, which amounts to RMB 40,000 per year for PhD students and RMB 30,000 per year for master’s students, eliminating the financial burden of tuition fees. In addition, successful applicants are exempted from the RMB 600 application fee. Beyond this, the funding package provides generous monthly stipends: PhD recipients will receive RMB 5,000, while master’s students will receive RMB 3,500, allowing scholars to focus on their studies without financial concerns. For those needing accommodation, the scholarship includes free on-campus housing or an off-campus subsidy of up to RMB 1,000 for PhD students and RMB 700 for master’s students, alongside comprehensive medical insurance valued at RMB 800.
Eligible applicants must be non-Chinese citizens with a valid passport, exhibit proficiency in English or Mandarin, and meet specific age and education requirements—no older than 35 for master’s applicants and 40 for PhD candidates. The program is only open to full-time students who are not currently benefiting from any other scholarships, ensuring their undivided academic dedication.
The application process is straightforward yet thorough. Prospective students should first submit their applications through the CSC Online Application System, followed by completing the UCAS Online Admission System submission. While obtaining an acceptance letter from a UCAS supervisor is optional, it can enhance the chances of success.
With an application deadline set for February 15, 2025, international scholars are encouraged to act promptly to gather their required documents and submit their application.
