CSC Scholarship Results - 2013

[AmineAzzane]

@shuoshuo , Thank you very much for your reply .

I called the Chinese cultural center this morning , and they didn't find my name on the list , however , they told me that they are expecting more names to be unveiled and that i'll be notified by E-Mail on Monday or Tuesday .

In case i don't get it ( I already had one before for a bachelor degree , so they might prefer those who never went to China before ? ) , is it possible to apply and start studying in a University of my choice , by supporting myself , or de i have to wait until February or next September ?!

[shikeqi]

Is there anyone who got accepted to Shanghai Jiao Tong and reads posts on this forum? I saw two names (apart from mine) on the 1st list but none of the recipients have posted anything and the Uni thread on this forum is pretty much dead as well. Thanks!

For whose who didn't get the scholarship, don't give up and try your luck next year! I know it's easier said than done but....maybe it's for the best.

is it possible to apply and start studying in a University of my choice

Yes. But you've already had a Bachelor's from China? What would you study now?

the Uni thread on this forum is pretty much dead as well

It might be worth putting a more substantial post in there. Introduce yourself, say what you're studying, why you chose Jiaotong, ask whatever questions your have. I know for a fact we have regular members who have studied at Jiaotong and could probably help you out with questions, and we quite possibly have current and upcoming students as well. But someone needs to put a bit of effort into getting the discussion started.

@Roddy , i just graduated the past month . I already have a Bachelor in International Trade that i got from China . so this is why i think that my chances of getting a second one are pretty small .

I applied for an MBA in English , and according to the Moroccan MOE , priority will be given to those who are willing to carry on . So i don't know where it went wrong ( If it did ) .

But anyway , i'll just wait until Monday or Tuesday , as they said that they'll call me then , but i have to start thinking about alternatives .

So could you please tell me if there is a chance for me to be in class this September without a scholarship ? What about next semester ( February ) ?

[roddy]

If you've already done a degree (where did you do it?) then you know more than I do. Could you get onto some course? Definitely. The specific course you want? I don't know, you'd have to get in touch and ask.

[AmineAzzane]

I did it in Changchun , at the Northeast Normal University .

The think is , i'm afraid that the deadline already passed , but after my five year experience in China , i know for sure that deadlines aren't exactly respected Haha , this is why i'm asking , just in case someone here did it before ( Applying even after the deadline set by the University ) .

I'm ready to organize a trip to China just to take care of this . I really don't fancy hanging out at my parent's for a whole year !

[roddy]

In that case, my friend, click here and then when you've read that, click here. Generations of future students will thank you.

Universities are businesses - if there's a space, you'll be able to get on. Language courses don't usually fill up, and it's pretty easy to put on extra classes if needed. An MBA in English might be more popular.

[AmineAzzane]

I'll make sure to write something on the NENU thread later this afternoon , Roddy .

I guess i'll just call some Universities and see if there is a chance to attend classes next month , otherwise i'll just wait until March and apply again .

Thank you for your help , Roddy . Cheers .

If I have done my bachelor with csc scholarship then am I eligible for Masters csc scholarship ??

[AmineAzzane]

According to a Senegalese friend of mine , CSC isn't really interested in giving two scholarships to one individual . They are trying to spread Mandarin and Chinese culture as much as possible , so giving two scholarships to one student isn't really beneficial .

However , he has no proof to back that up , and like i said in a post earlier , my country's Ministery of Education clearly states that those who are willing to carry on in China _ Within the CSC scholarship program _ are the priority .

Or maybe each country has it's own policy , who knows ?

[roddy]

By the time you've done your language year and your undergrad degree, the policy could have changed anyway. Wait a few years, then ask.

@AmineAzzane - I don't think the CSC has a problem granting a scholarship to someone who was already put on the CSC before. There is a quota and it is the different agencies that choose who to give the scholarships to. Some universities will accept late applications. Although you should contact them before you return to China, unless you have money to burn...heheh... Perhaps your university 东北师大 might be willing to consider a late application from you?

[slasherchinese]

@ grawrt

When did you actually mail off your application? Like what day?

I sent mine on April 15th, so perhaps they never got my application as I think on the CSC website it says they need the application by April 30th, when I assumed only the DC Embassy needed it by April 30th. My application would have to of traveled to DC, then they'd have the mail it after processing. Who knows how long that takes.

[FredSaidYes]

I think my age was maybe a reason why I didn't get accepted, has anybody over the upper age limit been accepted for the scholarship?

[Z.Asim]

Hi

is that Possible can i applied at this time for my PhD program offically i belong to Pakistan please guide me for the Pocess in 2014

[shuoshuo]

@slasherchinese - I submitted my application to my embassy on the 30th April itself. It had to reach CSC on the 30th (deadline). I don't know how my application got to CSC on time. I suppose if your embassy still accepted and processed it, you don't have a problem there.

[grawrt]

@ Slasherchinese

I sent it toward the end of March, it was cutting it close but definetly before the 30th. I had a little trouble with my doctor and she lost the form and had to fill out a new one then put it somewhere.. I cant remember now I just remember feeling frazzled even though it was before the april deadline. It's my first time applying so I wanted to make sure it got there within sufficient time. I'm honestly worried that it ever arrived there because my handwriting is really sloppy
