Chinese Government Scholarship - Scholarship Categories and Eligibility When Applying For a /Second/ Time

[m000gle]

I apologize, in advance, for starting yet another Chinese Government Scholarship thread.  However, I have a question which, as far as I can tell, hasn't been addressed in other discussions, and one which doesn't apply specifically to any particular year's application:

Is it possible to apply for and receive a Chinese Government Scholarship, a second or even multiple times, provided each one is in a different category than any awarded previously?

For example, I received a two-year CSC scholarship (language student category), and subsequently returned home to finish my original degree.  Upon graduation, or at some point in the future, it would be amazing to return to China to pursue Masters and/or Ph.D. graduate study. Will my (language student) CSC scholarship make me ineligible for a (Masters/Doctoral) CSC scholarship; or, do the different categories make it possible to be awarded a scholarship, for a second time?

In some ways, this is quite particular to my own situation; but I would be shocked if others haven't wondered the same thing.  Similarly, a lot may depend on the sponsoring agency, school etc; but I am still curious what others here have to suggest. I will still be looking into city and university-specific scholarships, and private financing if necessary; but knowing whether this is still a possibility is quite helpful when planning my future.

Any thoughts, personal experience, anecdotes etc would be greatly appreciated

A friend of mine, Vietnamese, got it for both a bachelors and masters degree, so it is possible.

It is possible. I did exactly what you are planning to do. First time for my language studies at BLCU, second time for my master's at Zheda. Both times nominated by the same agency (embassy). No 关系.

Great!  I'm happy to hear that it's not only possible, but that others here have done precisely what I'm hoping to.

 

Thank you very much for the responses

Hi I was hoping this thread is still active. 

In addition to the question posted in this thread, I wanted to know if it's possible to apply for two consecutive times. I am currently in a CSC scholarship right now for language study, I plan to do my MA and apply for CSC next year again. 

 

Thanks in advance.

Yes, it's possible, several of my language-learning scholarship classmates did the same, and most of them (7 out of 9) received the MA scholarship.
