Official scholarship routes
Chinese Government Scholarship · Bilateral Program (Type A)
Apply through your home-country dispatching authority. In Egypt the Central Administration for Missions at the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research announces the programme, and the Education Office of the Chinese Embassy in Egypt publishes related notices. Fill in the form on the China Scholarship Council (CSC) online system with the agency number given in the authority’s notice, then hand your documents to the authority by its deadline. CSC does not accept direct individual applications for this programme.

Chinese Government Scholarship · Chinese University Program (Type B)
Some Chinese universities are authorised to admit Chinese Government Scholarship students directly. Apply as the university instructs and enter the university’s agency number on the CSC system. Majors, conditions and dates are those on each university’s official site.
International Chinese Language Teachers Scholarship (Confucius Institute scholarship)
Offered by the Center for Language Education and Cooperation (CLEC) to non-Chinese citizens who study or teach Chinese. Applicants choose a recommending institution and a host institution in the scholarship section of the CLEC site, upload documents online and track their application. Programmes range from four-week study to a PhD; most require an HSK score and some also require HSKK.
Who can apply (Chinese Government Scholarship)
These conditions are from the 2027 Bilateral Program guidelines published by Chinese universities:
- Not a Chinese citizen, and in good health
- Bachelor’s: high-school diploma with good grades, aged 25 or under
- Master’s: bachelor’s degree, aged 35 or under
- PhD: master’s degree, aged 40 or under
- General visiting scholars up to 45; senior visiting scholars up to 50 with a master’s degree or associate-professor rank or above
Steps
- Pick the route and the degree, and read this year’s official notice from the dispatching authority or the university.
- Prepare a language certificate: Chinese-taught programmes usually ask for HSK; English-taught ones follow the university’s rules.
- Get a pre-admission letter from a Chinese university if you can; the official guidelines say applications with one go straight to that university for confirmation.
- Prepare documents: the application form, passport photo page, notarised highest degree and transcripts, a study or research plan, recommendation letters for postgraduate programmes, the Foreigner Physical Examination Form and a police clearance, as the year’s notice requires.
- Submit online, and deliver the documents to the dispatching authority or university before the deadline.
- Per the official guidelines, CSC sends results to Chinese embassies in July–August. Award holders apply for a study visa with the Admission Notice and the JW201 visa application form.
Deadlines and award contents are set in each year’s official notice; the dispatching authority’s current notice is the reference.
