Shandong University CSC Scholarship: Fully Funded Study Guide

Shandong University CSC Scholarship provides international students with a funded route to degree study in China. Its reviewed Type B notice includes Chinese-taught bachelor’s study and Chinese- or English-taught master’s and doctoral programs. Its full award supports tuition, accommodation or housing allowance, living support and medical insurance. The published 2026 deadline has passed, and a 2027 degree-scholarship call was not confirmed in the November 1, 2026 review.

Choose your degree and teaching language before preparing the forms. SDU publishes separate program lists for each level, and a course appearing in the general admissions catalog must still match the scholarship notice. Spring language or preparatory admissions should not be confused with a new degree-scholarship round.

Shandong CSC Scholarship: current application status

• Host: Shandong University, China.
• Route reviewed: Chinese Government Scholarship, Type B.
• Agency number in the notice: 10422.
• Levels listed: bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral study.
• Last reviewed closing date: February 6, 2026, now closed.
• 2027 degree-scholarship deadline: not confirmed.

The official application index has newer 2027 spring language and preparatory notices, while the degree-scholarship guide reviewed is still labelled 2026. Keep those categories separate. A general admissions announcement does not establish the deadline or funding conditions for a CSC degree application.

Use the preparation period to compare courses and arrange academic records. Once a new degree-scholarship notice appears, check its level, language and application order again. The previous deadline is included here as history, not as an invitation to submit a late application.

Degree programs from SDU’s official catalogs

The current catalog files reviewed are labelled 2026–2027. The examples below help you explore your options; they do not confirm a new 2027 scholarship seat.

For the reviewed Type B route, SDU supports bachelor’s study in Chinese only, even though the general admissions catalog also lists some English-taught undergraduate courses.

Scholarship coverage and costs

The official SDU funding notice lists the full-award benefits below. Your final scholarship notice sets the approved study period and conditions.

• Tuition: full coverage for the approved scholarship period.
• Accommodation: free accommodation or a housing allowance.
• Living allowance: a living allowance under the approved award.
• Medical insurance: comprehensive coverage under the scholarship terms.

Confirm the funding category

Read the scholarship offer alongside the admission letter. Check the approved course and period of support before arranging travel. A university application, a favorable academic review or a pre-admission message is not a final CSC award.

Application payment

SDU’s reviewed Type B procedure requires an RMB 400 application fee after a pre-admission email. Once paid, it is non-refundable. Follow SDU’s own message and payment instructions, and retain the receipt.

Continuing eligibility

Scholarship recipients must participate in the annual review. The notice also restricts overlapping Chinese-government or host-institution scholarship support. Understand those conditions before accepting another funding offer.

How to prepare the SDU scholarship application

1. Wait for the confirmed degree-scholarship notice for your intake.
2. Choose a course from the matching degree-level catalog.
3. Complete the CSC Type B application using SDU agency number 10422 when instructed.
4. Apply in SDU’s international student system and upload the required material.
5. Follow the pre-admission email and application-fee instructions.
6. Monitor both records and respond to academic review requests.
