CSC for Applicants from Indonesia
The China–Indonesia Scholarship 2026/2027 announcement lists 20 places for bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral study in specified fields. The application deadline was 8 February 2026 and has passed. This full scholarship does not cover international travel. For the next cycle, follow new announcements; the previous year’s timetable is not a new application schedule.
Scholarship Examples at Ningbo University
The following official 2026/2027 guides list funding for one year. The amounts do not guarantee selection or funding for your entire degree.
| Scheme | Bachelor’s | Postgraduate |
|---|---|---|
| Zhejiang Government Scholarship | RMB 20,000 | RMB 30,000 |
| Ningbo Government Scholarship | RMB 20,000 | RMB 30,000 |
| Ningbo University Scholarship | RMB 20,000 | RMB 30,000 |
Selection considers entry requirements and academic performance. All three guides prohibit holding other scholarships simultaneously. Confirm the deadline through Ningbo’s application system or admissions office before applying; these guides do not specify a closing date.

Full and Partial Scholarships: What Should You Budget For?
Break your budget down into tuition, accommodation, insurance, living expenses, travel, and administrative fees. Ask whether funding is a fee reduction or payment, when it is provided, how long it lasts, and whether annual review is required. Use the provider’s written terms to calculate the costs you will still need to cover.
Documents and Preparation Steps
- Choose a university, major, degree level, and teaching language.
- Check eligibility, selection dates, and documents in the scheme’s official guide.
- Prepare your passport, academic documents, language evidence, and additional documents using the application checklist.
- Complete both the university and scholarship applications if required.
- Follow results through official channels and read the funding terms before accepting an offer.
