CSC 2027/2028: Stipends, Insurance and Three Red Lines

中国政府奖学金 2027/2028：生活费发多少，哪些红线不能踩

 

The Chinese Government Scholarship (CSC) for the 2027/2028 academic year is now accepting applications through Chinese embassies and consulates worldwide, and a series of notices published between October 25 and 28, 2026 have filled in the details that matter most: how much money you actually receive, what documents must be dated correctly, and the compliance rules that can end a scholarship. Here is what every applicant should know before submitting.

2027/2028 学年中国政府奖学金（CSC）已开始通过中国驻各国使领馆受理申请，2026 年 10 月 25 日至 28 日间陆续发布的多份通知把最关键的细节讲清楚了：你实际能拿到多少钱、哪些材料必须注意日期、以及哪些合规红线会直接导致奖学金资格取消。提交申请之前，这些内容都值得逐条核对。

The financial package is standardized nationally. All full scholarship covers tuition, on-campus accommodation (or a housing subsidy), comprehensive medical insurance, and a monthly stipend: 2,500 RMB per month for bachelor's students, 3,000 RMB for master's students and general scholars, and 3,500 RMB for doctoral students and senior scholars. Insurance is 800 RMB per year, or 400 RMB for programs shorter than six months. If you study in Chinese, a preparatory year of language training is also funded, usually for one year.

资助标准全国统一。全额奖学金包含学费、校内住宿（或住宿补贴）、综合医疗保险，以及按月发放的生活费：本科生每月 2,500 元，硕士研究生和普通进修生每月 3,000 元，博士研究生和高级进修生每月 3,500 元。综合医疗保险费为每人每年 800 元，学习期限少于 6 个月的为 400 元。用中文学习的申请人还可获得中文补习（预科）资助，期限一般为一年。

Red Line One: No Stacking Scholarships

红线一：奖学金不能叠加

The Consular Section of the Chinese Embassy in Singapore published its application notice on October 26, 2026, and spelled out a rule that applicants often underestimate: CSC recipients may not simultaneously hold any other scholarship from Chinese governments at any level or from their admitting university — one-off prizes are the only exception. Violations lead to cancellation of the CSC award and repayment of everything already received. Applicants who deliberately conceal other funding face a harsher penalty: a three-year ban on applying for the Chinese Government Scholarship.

中国驻新加坡使馆教育处于 2026 年 10 月 26 日发布的申请通告，把一条常被低估的规则讲得很透：中国政府奖学金生不得同时享受中国各级政府和录取院校设立的其他奖学金——各类一次性奖励金是唯一例外。一旦违规，中国政府奖学金资格将被取消，已领取的奖学金须退还；对刻意隐瞒资助情况的申请人，处罚更重：除取消资格外，三年内不得再申请中国政府奖学金。

The practical takeaway: before you list a university scholarship, a provincial award or a Confucius Institute grant on your application, decide which one you actually want. The system treats overlap as concealment, not as enthusiasm.

落地到操作层面：在填写院校奖学金、省级奖项或国际中文教师奖学金之前，先想清楚自己真正要哪一项。系统把"重复享受"视为隐瞒，而不是"多多益善"。

Red Line Two: The CSCA Score Window

红线二：CSCA 成绩单的有效期窗口

Bachelor's applicants must hold a valid China Scholastic Competency Assessment (CSCA) score report when they submit, and the validity rule is specific: only score reports from test sessions held after March 1, 2025 count. Notices from the Chinese Embassy in Poland and the Chinese Consulate General in Surabaya, both published on October 28, 2026, add a planning tip — applicants without a valid report are advised to sit the December 2026 or January 2027 session, so the score arrives before each country's application deadline.

攻读学士学位的申请人必须在提交申请时持有有效的来华留学本科入学学业水平测试（CSCA）成绩单，而且有效期规则很具体：只有考试日期在 2025 年 3 月 1 日之后的成绩单才有效。中国驻波兰大使馆和中国驻泗水总领馆于 2026 年 10 月 28 日发布的通知还给出了规划建议：尚未取得有效成绩单的申请人，建议报考 2026 年 12 月或 2027 年 1 月场次，以确保在各受理机构的截止日期前拿到成绩。

Since CSCA subjects differ by major, confirm the required subjects with your target universities before registering at www.csca.cn. Do not leave this to the last week — registration closes earlier than the scholarship deadline itself.

由于 CSCA 测试科目因专业而异，请先向志愿院校确认所需科目，再到 www.csca.cn 报名。不要拖到最后一周——考试报名关闭时间早于奖学金申请截止时间。

Red Line Three: Pre-Admission Documents First

红线三：先拿到录取文件再提交申请

You must obtain an Admission Notice or a letter of intent — such as a pre-admission offer or a supervisor's acceptance — from at least one university you list as a choice, and upload it with your CSC application. And if none of your chosen universities admits you, there is no adjustment or redistribution to other schools: the embassy notice states plainly that unsuccessful applicants are not placed elsewhere.

申请人须至少获得一所志愿院校出具的录取通知书或意向录取文件（如预录取通知书、导师接收证明），并随 CSC 申请一并上传。如果所有志愿院校都未录取你，也不存在调剂：使馆通知明确写着，未被志愿院校录取的申请人，不安排调剂录取。

 

This changes how you should sequence the work: contact the admissions office of your first-choice university early, ask whether it organizes its own entrance exams (art academies often do), and secure the pre-admission document before the scholarship system opens its final weeks.

这会改变你安排申请顺序的方式：尽早联系第一志愿院校的招生部门，确认对方是否组织单独入学考试（艺术类院校通常有），并在奖学金系统进入最后阶段之前拿到预录取文件。

The language requirement is also now spelled out in every notice: applicants to Chinese-taught master's or doctoral programs need HSK Level 4, while general and senior scholars on Chinese-taught tracks need HSK Level 3. Applicants who already earned a degree from a Chinese university taught in Chinese are exempt from submitting a language certificate, and those studying the Chinese language itself as general scholars are exempt as well. Still, read your target university's requirements carefully — many programs set their own bar above the national floor.

语言要求如今也在每份通知里写得明明白白：申请中文授课的硕士、博士项目须达到 HSK 四级；中文授课的普通进修生和高级进修生须达到 HSK 三级。曾用中文为教学语言获得中国高校学位的申请人，无须再提供语言证明；以普通进修生身份来华学习汉语的申请人同样免于此项。但请仔细核对志愿院校的要求——不少项目的校线高于国家标准。

The Paperwork Details That Get Applications Rejected

最容易被卡住的材料细节

 

Passport validity. Some receiving offices set an explicit floor: the Chinese Embassy in Poland requires passports valid beyond March 1, 2027, while Beijing University of Science and Technology's "High-Level Postgraduate" program asks for validity beyond September 2027. If your passport expires sooner, renew it before applying.

护照有效期。 部分受理机构设置了明确下限：中国驻波兰大使馆要求护照有效期晚于 2027 年 3 月 1 日，北京科技大学"高水平研究生"项目要求晚于 2027 年 9 月。护照快到期的申请人应先换发再申请。

Dated documents. The Foreigner Physical Examination Form is valid for six months and is rejected if any item is missing, unsigned, unsealed or lacks the required photo stamp. The no-criminal-record certificate should be issued within six months of submission. Study plans have minimum lengths: at least 200 Chinese characters for bachelor's applicants, 500 for general scholars, and 800 for graduate applicants, written in Chinese or English.

带日期的材料。 《外国人体格检查表》有效期为 6 个月，缺项、无医师和医院签字盖章、未贴照片或未盖骑缝章的表格一律无效；无犯罪记录证明通常应为提交申请前 6 个月以内出具。学习或研究计划有最低字数：本科生不少于 200 字，进修生不少于 500 字，研究生不少于 800 字，用中文或英文书写。

Scan quality counts as content quality. The Surabaya notice warns that all uploaded documents must be clear, authentic and valid, and that applicants bear the consequences of unreadable files — blurry scans of a passport page or a physical-exam form are among the most common reasons files stall in review. Use a scanner, check every page, and keep the original color and stamps visible.

扫描质量等于材料质量。 泗水总领馆的通知提醒：通过系统上传的材料必须清晰、真实、有效，因材料不清晰或无法识别造成的后果由申请人承担——护照首页或体检表翻拍模糊，是审核中最常见的卡点之一。请使用扫描仪逐页检查，保留原件色彩和印章的清晰可见。

Deadlines vary by country. Recent notices show how different the dates are: the Chinese Embassy in the Maldives (dispatching authority code 4622) closes on January 29, 2027; the Embassy in Sweden closes on February 6, 2027; and the Consulate General in Surabaya closes on February 14, 2027. University-run Type B routes run on separate calendars — for example, USTB's High-Level Postgraduate program accepts applications from November 1, 2026 to March 10, 2027 with agency number 10008. Always check the notice issued by the embassy or university that will actually process your file.

截止日期因国家而异。 近期通知显示各受理机构时间差别很大：中国驻马尔代夫使馆（受理机构编码 4622）截止日期为 2027 年 1 月 29 日；驻瑞典使馆截止 2027 年 2 月 6 日；驻泗水总领馆截止 2027 年 2 月 14 日。高校自主的 Type B 路线另有时间表——例如北京科技大学"高水平研究生"项目受理期为 2026 年 11 月 1 日至 2027 年 3 月 10 日，机构代码 10008。请务必查阅真正受理你材料的使馆或院校发布的通知。

Treat the CSC application as two parallel tracks: the scholarship system submission, and the pre-admission conversation with each target university. Applicants who start the university track in November almost always outperform those who wait for December. If you want help matching CSC subject requirements, CSCA sessions and university deadlines into one timeline, Originedu's advisors put together a week-by-week plan for exactly this stage.

把 CSC 申请当成两条并行线：一条是奖学金系统的提交，另一条是与各志愿院校的预录取沟通。11 月就启动院校线的申请人，几乎总是胜过拖到 12 月的人。如果你需要把 CSC 科目要求、CSCA 场次和院校截止日期整合成一张时间表，Originedu 的顾问可以针对这个阶段为你排出逐周计划。
