Changan University Scholarships 2024 for International Students
Chang’an University (CAU) in Xi’an, China, offers an excellent opportunity for international students to pursue their academic dreams through two main scholarship programs: the CAU Innovation Scholarship and the Chang’an University Xi’an Municipal ‘One Belt One Road’ Scholarship.
Here’s an easy-to-understand guide on the stipend, benefits, eligibility, and application process for these scholarships.
1# CAU Innovation Scholarship 2024
Eligibility Criteria: This scholarship is available to young adults aged 18-25 who are in good health and hold a valid ordinary foreign passport. Applicants should have completed their high school education and meet English proficiency requirements (minimum IELTS score of 5.5 or TOEFL score of 68, although this can be waived if English is the official language in the applicant’s country).
Scholarship Benefits: The CAU Innovation Scholarship covers the entire tuition fee for the duration of the academic program. Additionally, it provides a one-time living allowance of ¥15,000. However, scholarship recipients need to manage their accommodation costs independently.
Application Details: Interested candidates should apply between May 15 and June 30 via the Chang’an University online application system at CAU’s admission portal. After a preliminary review, a non-refundable application fee of ¥400 is required.
Document Requirements: You’ll need to submit a copy of your passport, high school diploma and transcripts (both notarized if not in English), proof of English proficiency, a physical examination record, and a non-criminal record certificate. All these documents need to be uploaded online through the university’s application portal.
Admission and Enrollment: Admission decisions are made based on the review of application materials and possibly interviews. Successful applicants will receive an admission notice and a Visa Application Form for Foreign Students (JW202), which are necessary for obtaining a study visa in China.
Annual Scholarship Review: To maintain the scholarship, students must undergo an annual review, ensuring they meet the academic and conduct standards set by the university.
2# Chang’an University Xi’an Municipal ‘One Belt One Road’ Scholarship
Eligibility Criteria: This scholarship is open to non-Chinese citizens who comply with the health, age, and education requirements for their chosen degree level: under 25 for undergraduates, under 35 for masters, and under 40 for doctoral candidates. Applicants must not be receiving any other scholarships.
Scholarship Benefits: The scholarship includes tuition, hostel fees, and a living stipend that varies by degree level—¥25,000/year for PhD students, ¥20,000/year for master’s students, and ¥15,000/year for undergraduates. The exact benefits depend on the student’s performance in annual reviews, particularly for those beyond the first year.
Application Process and Requirements: The application process is similar to that of the Chang’an University Xi’an belt and road Scholarship, with additional requirements for master’s and doctoral candidates, such as recommendation letters and a detailed study or research plan.
Admission and Enrollment: The selection process includes a review of all application materials and may include interviews. Once admitted, students receive all necessary documentation to apply for a study visa.
Maintaining the Scholarship: Like the CAU Innovation Scholarship, the ‘One Belt One Road’ Scholarship requires students to pass an annual review to continue receiving financial support.
