Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Here are the most frequently asked questions about the Xiamen University Scholarship. These answers cover eligibility, benefits, deadlines, application steps and coordination between Xiamen University and the CSC Type B system.
What does the Xiamen University Scholarship cover?
According to XMU’s published guide, the Xiamen University Scholarship under CSC Type B is a full award that covers tuition, a university dormitory or accommodation subsidy, a monthly stipend and comprehensive medical insurance. The 2026 guide provided stipend amounts as a planning reference, but the 2027 CSC-specific notice should confirm final figures.
Who can apply for the CSC Type B scholarship at Xiamen University?
International applicants who meet the chosen XMU program’s admission requirements may apply. Scholarship places depend on whether the specific degree is included on the CSC-approved program list. Applicants must satisfy degree-specific rules, language requirements and any nationality or residence conditions listed by XMU.
What are the key language requirements for applicants?
XMU’s 2027 guides indicate that Chinese programs generally require HSK 4 or 5 depending on discipline, while English programs list IELTS 6.0, TOEFL 80, an accepted equivalent or qualifying prior English-medium study. A CSCA score report is required for bachelor applicants where specified.
Are there age limits for scholarship applicants?
XMU’s admission rules for 2027 list general age ranges by degree for admission (e.g., undergraduate generally 18–30). The most recent CSC-specific age ceilings come from the 2026 guide and should be verified in the 2027 Type B notice; treat prior-cycle age limits as a reference until confirmed.
Do I need to apply to Xiamen University and CSC separately?
Yes. You must submit two online applications: one to Xiamen University via its International Student Application System (including the RMB 400 fee) and one to the CSC Information System under Type B using Xiamen University’s Agency Number 10384. The university reviews and nominates; CSC makes the final award decision.
What documents are typically required for the application?
Prepare passport, academic certificates and transcripts, language proof, personal statement, recommendation letters, health or police documents where required, and for graduates a CV and research-focused statement. Bachelor applicants may also need a CSCA score report; postgraduate applicants may benefit from a supervisor’s pre-acceptance letter.
Is the scholarship automatic upon admission to XMU?
No. Admission to XMU does not guarantee a CSC scholarship. The university reviews admission materials and nominates candidates for CSC Type B; final scholarship awards are subject to CSC approval. Scholarship competitiveness and program approval affect outcomes.
When is the application deadline for the 2027 intake?
Xiamen University states the online application period for CSC Type B runs from December 1, 2026 to February 20, 2027 (Beijing Time, UTC+8). The last date to apply through XMU for 2027 entry is 20 February 2027.
Are stipend amounts for 2027 confirmed?
The 2027 guides have not restated the scholarship package amounts; the 2026 CSC Type B guide listed monthly stipends as RMB 2,500 for bachelor, RMB 3,000 for master and RMB 3,500 for doctoral students. Treat those figures as a planning reference until the 2027 CSC-specific notice confirms them.
Is there an application fee and can late applications be accepted?
XMU’s 2027 degree guides state a non-refundable RMB 400 application fee. The university also indicates that late university applications will not be considered, so applicants must submit within the announced window to be eligible for scholarship nomination.
