Chinese Government Scholarships – Now Accepting Applications

The Chinese Government, in collaboration with the Ministries of Advanced Education and Education, is offering scholarships for eligible B.C. students to study abroad.
The purpose of the scholarships is to strengthen mutual understanding and friendship between the Chinese people and people around the world, and to develop cooperation and exchange in the fields of education, science, culture, economy and trade between China and other countries.
Full and partial scholarships are offered to successful applicants to study in China.
B.C. 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 eligible to apply.
The language of instruction is primarily Chinese. However, the program may sponsor and recommend remedial Chinese language studies for applicants who are not applying for the Chinese language study program.
Eligibility criteria, application forms and procedures and further information about the Chinese Government Scholarship are available on the Ministry of Advanced Education website: http://www.aved.gov.bc.ca/studyabroad/chinese-government-scholarship.htm.
To facilitate this partnership with the Chinese government, the Province of British Columbia has appointed a scholarship committee to adjudicate applications. Recommended applications will be forwarded to the Consulate General of the People’s Republic of China in Vancouver and the China Scholarship Council, the People’s Republic of China, for review and approval.
British Columbia applications must be submitted by February 28, 2014.
