Closed 28 Feb 2026
Fully funded fellowship from UNESCO / Chinese Government in China. Check the deadline and eligibility on the official page before applying.
A fellowship offered by UNESCO / Chinese Government in China.
The organiser describes this as fully funded. On this site that means tuition and accommodation are recorded as covered; flights are left as not stated until we have confirmed them, because they vary between programmes that use the same phrase. This is aimed at applicants at Master's level.
Before you apply
Open the official page and confirm three things: that the deadline still stands, that you meet the eligibility criteria as they are written there, and what documents you will need. Applications fail more often on a missing document than on a weak candidate.
Every detail here is checked against the organisation's own page, and that page is the authority: deadlines move, eligibility is rewritten, and programmes are withdrawn without announcement. Confirm before you apply.
How to apply
This one has a step people miss: applications are made at national level. Contact your country's National Commission for UNESCO first and ask about their procedure — UNESCO does not accept applications direct from individuals.
A pre-admission letter from a Chinese host university is mandatory, and the online submission is made through the Chinese Government Scholarship Information System at campuschina.org.
What you will need
- Endorsement from your National Commission for UNESCO
- Pre-admission letter from a Chinese university
- CSC online application
- Transcripts and certificates
- Physical examination record
Eligibility notes
Open to candidates from the developing Member States listed in the current call.
Details can change without notice. Confirm everything on the organisation's own page before you apply — see our disclaimer. Spotted something out of date? Tell us.
