Northeast Agricultural University CSC Scholarship: Fully Funded

Northeast Agricultural University CSC Scholarship supports international students pursuing master’s and doctoral degrees in Harbin, China. The full award includes tuition, on-campus accommodation, a living allowance and medical insurance. Its reviewed brochure lists Chinese-taught master’s study and selected Chinese- or English-taught doctoral options. Its 2026 application round has closed, and a new 2027 student scholarship call was not confirmed as of November 1, 2026.

NEAU has a strong agricultural study focus, with related options in engineering, food, life sciences and management. Begin with the teaching language and research field that fit your previous degree. Northeast Agricultural University should also be distinguished from the separately named Northeastern University.

“For another research-focused option in Harbin, compare our Harbin Institute of Technology scholarship guide and check its current application status and available fields.”

NEAU CSC Scholarship: current status

• University: Northeast Agricultural University, Harbin, China.
• Route: High-Level Postgraduate Program, CSC Type B.
• Agency number: 10224.
• Degrees: master’s and PhD.
• Reviewed duration: three years for master’s; four years for PhD.

The last confirmed student application window reviewed ran from November 1, 2025 to March 15, 2026. Those dates cannot be advanced by one year without a new student admission notice. An institutional project-submission notice is also different from an application invitation for students.

During the preparation period, compare departments and develop a realistic research idea. When NEAU publishes the next intake brochure, review its language arrangements and document templates again before submitting anything.

Degree programs in the reviewed NEAU brochure

The following examples are taken from the 2026 scholarship program table. They help you research a course, but do not confirm availability or funding for an unannounced 2027 intake.

Use the official NEAU major table for the full selection and exact language. It also lists other Chinese-taught doctoral subjects across agriculture, veterinary science, engineering and related fields. A broad university course catalog should not replace the scholarship-specific listing.

Choose a field you can connect to your previous training. A focused study plan should explain the problem you want to investigate and the preparation you bring to it. Read relevant faculty research before contacting a possible supervisor.

Scholarship benefits and preparation costs

The official NEAU funding notice lists the full-award benefits below. Confirm the approved study period and conditions in your final scholarship notice.

• Tuition: full coverage for the approved scholarship period.
• Accommodation: accommodation fee coverage.
• Living allowance: CNY 3,000 per month for master’s students or CNY 3,500 for doctoral students.
• Medical insurance: comprehensive coverage under the scholarship terms.

Monthly support

Keep personal spending plans separate from the confirmed scholarship terms. A funding application itself is not an award.

Costs before registration

Prepare a budget for document certification, language evidence, passport needs and travel arrangements. Do not infer a no-fee application policy from a notice that does not clearly state one. Follow the current university system for any applicable payment requirement.

Confirm the written offer

Read the admission and scholarship documents together when they arrive. Check the approved course, duration and registration conditions. Ask the university about any unclear item before making plans that depend on funding.

Eligibility, language and documents

• Non-Chinese citizenship with a valid passport and suitable health.
• Master’s: bachelor’s degree and age under 35.
• Doctoral: master’s degree and age under 40.
• Solid research ability and the selected program’s academic requirements.

Language requirements

The reviewed Chinese-taught requirement is a valid HSK 4 certificate. English-taught doctoral applicants normally need TOEFL 95 or IELTS 6.5, with the brochure’s specified English-language exemptions. The master’s program table is Chinese-taught; it should not be advertised as an English-medium master’s scholarship.

Prepare the application file

• Certified or notarized degree certificate or schooling evidence.
• Certified or notarized academic transcripts.
• Study or research plan of at least 1,000 words.
• Two recommendations from professors or associate professors.
• Passport and language evidence.
• Physical examination form and non-criminal certificate.
• Research achievements, if available.
• Supervisor acceptance letter, if available.

A supervisor acceptance letter is not compulsory in the reviewed brochure. Applicants without one may still apply, and the university describes support with supervisor contact after a successful evaluation.

How to prepare an NEAU CSC application

1. Wait for the confirmed student scholarship notice for your intake.
2. Select a suitable subject and verify its teaching language.
3. Prepare the academic, language and medical documents.
4. Complete the CSC Type B application using NEAU agency number 10224 when instructed.
5. Submit the matching application in NEAU’s international student system.
6. Monitor the review process and respond to any requests.
7. Await the final admission and scholarship decision.

Use the official NEAU application portal for the university submission. Both systems must contain a completed application and consistent uploaded material under the reviewed instructions. A missing record in either system can prevent the application being considered.

“If you choose to contact a supervisor, our professor email guide can help you introduce your research interests clearly and keep the enquiry focused.”

“For an overview of the CSC workflow, read our CSC application guide. NEAU’s next student admission notice should determine the exact order and dates.”
