To apply for a Chinese University Scholarship, you will generally need the following documents:

3. A copy of your valid passport – The passport must be valid for the duration of your study. You’ll usually need to provide a scanned copy of the photo/info page.
4. Highest diploma or graduation certificate – If you’re applying for a bachelor’s degree, submit your high school diploma; for a master’s, submit your bachelor’s degree; and for a PhD, submit your master’s degree. If the diploma is not in English or Chinese, a notarized translation is required.
5. Academic transcripts – You must submit transcripts from your most recent or current school. These should also be translated and notarized if not originally in English or Chinese.
6. Study plan or personal statement – This document should explain your academic background, your motivation for studying in China, your study goals, and your future plans. It should usually be 500–1,000 words, written in English or Chinese.
