bientai Posted June 4, 2015 at 01:22 PM Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 at 01:22 PM I started thinking about Chinese scholarships and quite a few questions arised in my head. Perhaps someone more knowledgeable can shed some light: - Does anyone have information as to how likely is it to actually be granted a scholarship (CGS, more specifically) if you have been nominated by a university? - Are there any quotas for universities and what would they be for Fudan? - Is it necessarily a full scholarship that will be granted or might there also be partial scholarships, etc.? - For those who applied to Shanghai universities and applied both for CGS and SGS - once you have been nominated for CGS does that mean that SGS is out of the game?

Indie92 Posted June 4, 2015 at 02:14 PM Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 at 02:14 PM @killa That is so cool, I applied for HUST as well. I am a candidate from The Bahamas, applied through embassy. I sent along my HUST pre-admission letter when I initially applied to the embassy/foreign affairs scholarship division. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajkihn Posted June 4, 2015 at 02:39 PM Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 at 02:39 PM For the ones applying through OAS: I wrote to Mr. Duncan because I just didn't wantedto keep my hopes up. He clearly told me that at final pre selected candidates haven't been confirmed (at least for postgraduate which was what I asked about) because there are many suitable candidates and they are considering giving more scholarships, but CSC has to confirm first. Good luck to everyone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDF Posted June 4, 2015 at 04:51 PM Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 at 04:51 PM Hello Everyone, I've applied for PhD studies in Shanghai Jiaotong University (SJTU) on CSC Scholarship Category A. My online application status says: Agree with getting the scholarship. I've following questions: Does it mean that university agreed to grant me CSC Scholarship but CSC still have to decide about awarding the scholarship? Few days back before the status update, i called their office, and they informed me they have sent my documents for CSC evaluation. Or it means that application process is completed and I actually got the scholarship? I know some of the applicants, who actually applied for CSC Category A, but their online status now displays CSC Scholarship Category B & Agree with getting the scholarship.. I hope lot of you guys are having the same status as mine, or you've already got the confirmatory email from university. Please give me your opinion. Thanks.

New Members Soulizer Posted June 5, 2015 at 01:28 PM New Members Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 at 01:28 PM Hey guys, If anyone could answer my question id be very happy. So I applied in feb for CSC scholarship for masters at XMU. In the beginning of May my application has been processed by the Uni and I was accepted (of the admission). The application system after loggin into the uni website and clicking on masters application tells me I have been accepted. It also gives the option to accept the admission offer or not. I thought I had to wait till we get CSC scholarship anouncement/winners from XMU and then accept it in the system. Cuz I believe if you accept the admission offer that you will be enrolled and u get the Uni letter for visa etc.. But I only want to enroll if I get the scholarship. Did I have to accept this admission offer in meantime? I thought I had to wait on scholarship announcements of the Uni itself? Kinda lost here, in the waitingzone (no news) on what to do.

Dongfeng Posted June 5, 2015 at 05:05 PM Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 at 05:05 PM @reben26 Yesterday Tsinghua sent me an email and told me I got accepted and also told me me to wait for my admission letter. I applied through embassy so I think I got the scholarship. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Members muarri Posted June 5, 2015 at 07:41 PM New Members Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 at 07:41 PM @Soulizer Hey, as far as I know you should accept the admission offer so that Uni will proceed with your application and send it to CSC. In your case Uni may understood that you don't want to be enrolled and didn't sent your documents. At least that's the procedure admission office described me when I was applying in March.. Try to ask them, they will clarify it better. People in XMU are quite helpful and willing to explain such issues 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aleksei Posted June 6, 2015 at 09:20 AM Report Share Posted June 6, 2015 at 09:20 AM Hello JDF, I have applied for PhD studies in Shanghai Jiaotong University (SJTU) on CSC Scholarship Category A as well. My online application statuses are: Application status - Admitted. Operate - View, Pre-Admission Notice, Enrollment: Yes, Scholarship Detail. Futher... Scholarship Detail: Scholarship name: Doctoral Programs Type A(CSC), Agree with getting the scholarship. In Approval Process Approval Date Approval Results 2015/4/11 5:10:20 Doctoral Programs Type A1(CSC) 2015/4/12 14:11:27 Preliminary Review Pass 2015/4/19 10:25:29 Pre-Admitted:School of Materials Science & Engineering Materials Science and Engineering(080500) I have been also striving to get answers to the questions equal to yours. But it seemed to me that International Student Center was going to send me formal documents, so I think that I have been awarded CGS type A, but nobody answered me if this Scholarship FULL or PARTIAL. My starting date of the Programme is 13th of September. And I don't know what Type A1 means. Besides, that moment when I was sending my set of documents to SJTU, I had't Physical Exam Form, I sent without it, and I made 2 samples of CGC-Application form only, other documents were sent in originals or single copy/single notarized copy. After sending I started thinking that I would fail, and they would reject me because I prepared my documents inproperly. Seemingly, they didn't think that I had been wrong. What country are you from? Where do you intend to pursue you PhD (which Major and School of SJTU)? What do you think about correct arrival date to Shanghai?
