Besides the scholarship
for enrolled students, all rest 4 kinds of scholarships are available for new
students. But not all universities in China could provide the above 5 types of
scholarships, and the situation of scholarships in different universities is
quite different. If the scholarship is more important for you than the
university itself, then choosing the correct university and time to apply for
the scholarship is the most important thing for you to get the highest success
rate.
Choosing a
university wisely and using the service provided by an agency may help you save
time and increase your chance of getting a scholarship by going through the
process correctly, but please be noted that NO ONE CAN SELL SCHOLARSHIP
SEAT, AND NO SCHOLARSHIP IS GUARANTEED. Don't trust anyone that tells you
he or she can guarantee that you can get a scholarship and overcharge you. If
you have enough time and would like to pay enough endeavor into the process,
you can apply for the scholarship by yourself as well. If you would like to
spend some money to enjoy professional service then you can choose an agency to
help you.

Tips to Apply for the Scholarship
1)
Apply early – the application deadline is open
for a limited time only, so you need to apply on time. There are often too many
students applying and so it may be hard to get feedback. Apply to multiple
universities and scholarships. It is very competitive so it is better to apply
to numerous opportunities.
2)
Contacts – Try to get in contact with someone from
the university so they can check your application documents are correct. (CUCAS can help you with
this)
3)
Prepare Documents Carefully – Because there are so
many students applying you must prepare all your application documents
correctly. If you do not prepare them correctly then your application may not
be processed.
4)
Learn Chinese
5)
Get High Grades and a Good CV
Scholarships are
often given to the most academically advanced students, high-achieving,
ambitious, and exemplary students with good work experience, high scores, or
unique project experience. Focus on keeping your grades up and being an
involved student leader to increase your chances.
