Chinese Government Scholarships
Each year, the Chinese Government provides a number of scholarships enabling residents of Alberta to study in China. Five full and ten partial scholarships are available annually.
Alberta high school graduates, post-secondary students and scholars wishing to participate in Chinese language studies, academic study at the undergraduate or graduate level, or research - are all eligible.
The language of instruction is primarily Chinese, but a limited number of programs are offered in English. The program may also sponsor and recommend remedial Chinese language studies for applicants who are not applying for the Chinese language study program.
The application deadline for the 2012/2013 academic year is now past.
The due date was December 12, 2011.
Applications submitted for the December 2011 Chinese Government Scholarship program are now being processed. Successful applicants will be notified in April 2012, and studies will commence in September 2012.
Information regarding studies in the 2013/2014 academic year will be posted when they become available.
An online application is now required by the China Scholarship Council, a printout of which is to be included in the package sent to Alberta Advanced Education and Technology.
Note, the online application asks for an Agency Number, which for Alberta applicants is 1242. In addition, you will be asked for a Guarantor, which is not necessary to add if you do not have one.
