If you are planning to pursue an undergraduate degree in China, the Zhejiang Provincial Government Scholarship 2027 at Zhejiang University (ZJU) could help reduce your study expenses. The scholarship offers international students RMB 20,000 for one academic year in eligible Chinese-taught undergraduate programmes. It is not a fully funded scholarship, but it gives you financial support while studying at one of China’s leading universities. You can apply for this award alongside your undergraduate admission application. However, you must meet the university’s admission requirements, demonstrate good academic performance and submit a separate scholarship application. The general deadline is February 28, 2027, while applicants to the Chinese Language (International Students) major have until May 31, 2027.

What Does the Zhejiang Provincial Scholarship Cover?

The Zhejiang Provincial Government Scholarship provides RMB 20,000 for one academic year. This is a one-time, one-year award rather than a full-degree scholarship. You should therefore arrange additional funding for your remaining tuition fees and living costs in China.

There is also a possibility of receiving further support. If you maintain excellent academic results and demonstrate outstanding conduct during your studies, you may apply for continued scholarship assistance. However, renewal is not automatic, so you should not rely on this award to cover your entire undergraduate degree.

The scholarship is available for international students admitted to Chinese-taught undergraduate programmes at Zhejiang University. Students receiving another scholarship at the same time are not eligible for this award.

Are You Eligible for Zhejiang University Scholarship 2027?

The scholarship is open to non-Chinese citizens holding an ordinary private passport who meet Zhejiang University’s 2027 international undergraduate admission requirements. You should generally be between 18 and 25 years old and have completed senior high school. If you are still studying, you can submit an acceptable pre-graduation certificate, but you must obtain your final diploma before registration.

You also need good academic results, a positive attitude towards learning and research, the required Chinese-language proficiency and a China Scholastic Competency Assessment (CSCA) score report. Your chosen programme may have additional admission requirements.

Applicants who previously held Chinese citizenship or acquired foreign citizenship through Chinese parents must also meet specific nationality and overseas-residence conditions under China’s education regulations. Check the official admission brochure if these circumstances apply to you.

How to Apply for Zhejiang Provincial Government Scholarship 2027?

You must complete the undergraduate admission application and submit a separate scholarship form. Start by taking the China Scholastic Competency Assessment (CSCA) and preparing your academic and language documents. Then register through the Zhejiang University International Student Application System, select your preferred undergraduate programme and upload the required materials. Include the Zhejiang Provincial Government Scholarship Application Form with your admission documents.

The university charges a non-refundable application fee of RMB 800. After reviewing your application, the university may invite you for a video interview. Admission decisions are based on your academic record, language proficiency and interview performance. Selected applicants can check their pre-admission results online. You must also pay the first-year tuition fee within the specified period to secure formal admission.
