Zhejiang University’s 2027 graduate scholarships are open for international master’s and PhD applicants in China. From engineering and agriculture to medicine, humanities and interdisciplinary research, there is considerable academic choice. The practical question is which award fits your plans—and whether you can finish its application before the earlier funding cutoff.
Official information checked: 11 November 2026.
01.
Which ZJU award belongs on your shortlist?
CSC Type B provides tuition, accommodation or an allowance, monthly support and medical insurance. Master’s study generally lasts two to three years and doctorates three to four. Other awards serve different subjects or applicant groups, so “ZJU scholarship” is a starting point rather than one interchangeable package.
| Route | Distinction | Deadline |
|---|---|---|
| CSC Type B | Full graduate package | 31 December 2026 |
| Zhejiang Government | CNY 30,000 for one year | 28 February 2027 |
| YES China, China Studies PhD, ZJE-Hai and optical-engineering awards | Professional or subject-specific conditions | 28 February 2027 |
| ZIBS, Hai China Studies and China–ASEAN Marine | Selected master’s or doctoral programmes | 31 May 2027 |
02.
Can your qualification and language evidence support the choice?
For CSC, non-Chinese master’s applicants need a bachelor’s degree and must be under 35; PhD applicants need a master’s degree and must be under 40. Chinese-taught entry generally requires HSK 5 at 180, with higher programme thresholds possible.
English benchmarks include IELTS 6.5, TOEFL 90 or Duolingo 120. A qualifying English-medium degree can support a waiver application; that is not automatic academic admission. I would settle the programme’s teaching language before investing time in a proposal for it.
03.
What should your research application demonstrate?
Prepare qualifications or expected-graduation evidence, transcripts, language proof, two academic recommendations and a personal statement of about 1,500 words including the research proposal. Follow programme-specific supervisor requirements; CSC also needs medical and police-clearance evidence. Your passport should remain valid on or after 1 March 2028.
Explain the question you want to investigate and why the chosen programme can help you investigate it. Our study-plan guide helps organize that reasoning; ZJU’s requirements remain the submission standard.
Our academic recommendation guide can help you brief referees on the programme and research direction.
04.
How do you put the application together?
- Use the graduate programme and scholarship directory to select the degree and every award you want considered.
- For CSC, complete the Type B application using agency 10335, then download its form.
- Submit through the ZJU portal, upload the evidence and pay the applicable fee.
- Monitor review requests under the specific CSC notice.
ZJU permits multiple scholarship selections, but only one submission; you cannot add another award afterward. My recommendation is to use the earliest applicable deadline.
05.
What could change your funding plan?
Does February admission extend CSC?
No. The dedicated CSC cutoff remains 31 December 2026.
Who should consider YES China?
Eligible professionals generally under 45, with a bachelor’s degree, at least three years of work and a qualifying role. ZJU pre-admission closes on 28 February; CSC Type A agency 1563 follows by 29 March 2027.
Is provincial funding guaranteed for the whole degree?
No. The award covers one academic year; continuing students compete again.
06.
When must the ZJU application be complete?
The last date to apply for Zhejiang University’s 2027 CSC Type B scholarship is 31 December 2026. Other named groups close on 28 February or 31 May 2027. Use Beijing time, UTC+8.
