The CSC-MIIS Scholarship will fund up to 20 students annually across the following degree programs:
To be considered for the CSC-MIIS scholarship, applicants must meet the following requirements:
Students are required to pay mandatory student fees, which are not covered by the CSC-MIIS scholarship. During the visa process, students will likely be required to provide proof of personal / family funds showing they have enough to cover living expenses while enrolled in the degree program. In prior years, the stipend provided by the CSC did not cover all living expenses and students will need additional funds to support themselves while enrolled.
Applicants will need to apply to both the Middlebury Institute and the CSC separately by the deadlines below.
Submit your application to the CSC Scholarship Programme by their posted deadline, April 10, 14:00 Beijing time.
