This scholarship provides financial support so that these universities can recruit exceptional full-time graduate students.
The award provides a full scholarship covering tuition, accommodations, a modest stipend, and medical insurance. Students will be provided with free university housing (typically a twin room), or a monthly subsidy for off-campus housing (in the amount of no more than CNY 1,000 per month). Recipients will also be allotted a stipend of up to CNY 3,500 per month. The scholarship will last anywhere from two to four academic years, depending on program of study.

Applicants for doctoral studies must have a master’s degree or equivalent and be under the age of forty by the same date.
