Chinese Institutions of higher education in 20 provinces and
autonomous cities are authorized by the Ministry of Education of
China to accept international students to study in China under Chinese
Government Scholarship program. The China Center recommends
several universities; if the applicant's research or academic goals
require that he or she attend a university other than those that
are recommended, the applicant may propose an alternative university
to the selection committee.
Description
The University of Minnesota China Center, in cooperation
with the Embassy of the People's Republic of China in Washington
DC, is pleased to offer a full academic-year scholarship to a University
of Minnesota undergraduate or graduate student for study at a university
in mainland China. The scholarship covers tuition and room and
board, and pays a small monthly stipend to cover books and incidental
expenses.
Curriculum
Curriculum differs across universities but most undergraduate students
focus on Chinese language and culture.
Application
The China Center application deadline for
this program is March 1. Applications are reviewed by a committee
and applicants may also interview with the committee. As there is
commonly only one scholarship for University of Minnesota students,
this program is competitive and students are encouraged to apply
for other options in China in case they are not awarded the scholarship.
Graduate Student Eligibility
Graduate applicants must have completed a
minimum of three years of Chinese language instruction or demonstrate
the ability to complete graduate level study or research in Chinese
