Chinese Government Scholarship
The Chinese Government Scholarship category may include routes with different nominating bodies, study levels and submission steps. Applicants should first identify whether the intended program is a dispatching-authority route or a university-directed route, then complete the systems required by that specific call.
RUC's current category page does not provide a complete 2027 application schedule, funding table or document list. These details should be taken from the admission and scholarship notice for the selected program when it is released.
Language and China Studies Routes
The International Chinese Language Teachers Scholarship is designed around eligible Chinese-language and international Chinese language education programs. The China Studies Program serves a different academic and research purpose. Their application platforms, recommending arrangements and supporting materials may differ, so applicants should not combine the two workflows.
Municipal, Association and University Awards
The Beijing Government Scholarship, International Confucian Association Scholarship and RUC Award for International Students are separate routes. The scholarship name alone does not establish the award amount, duration or renewal conditions for 2027. Confirm those details against the current RUC notice and the selected degree application.
Build a Reliable 2027 Application Plan
- Select the RUC degree or non-degree program before choosing a scholarship.
- Match the scholarship route to its responsible body: CSC, the language scholarship platform, a municipal program, an association or RUC.
- Prepare academic, identity and language documents while the 2027 notices are pending.
- Check whether the route requires both an external scholarship system and the RUC application system.
- Treat award coverage and renewal rules as route-specific until the 2027 notice confirms them.
Please note before application
RUC currently lists the available scholarship categories, but complete 2027 deadlines, eligibility rules and award amounts are not published across the category pages. Use the intake-specific notice for the selected program before submitting or paying an application fee.
