Chinese Course · Study Abroad
Studying in China does not have to be expensive. With the right scholarship pathway, many students study tuition-free, receive accommodation support, and even get a monthly living stipend. We help you understand your options, choose the right route, and apply with confidence.
China offers several major scholarship pathways. Each differs slightly in coverage and competitiveness — Duke helps you identify which is the strongest fit for your background and goals.
The most comprehensive and widely recognized option, funded directly by the Chinese government — and the one Duke most frequently guides students through.
Offered by provincial and city governments such as Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Chengdu, Chongqing, Xi'an, Kunming, and others.
Coverage by type
Awarded directly by universities, often with flexible coverage depending on the applicant's profile and the institution's own funding priorities.
Coverage by type
Applicants must meet both scholarship and university admission requirements. Duke checks your eligibility before any application is submitted.
Applicants for bachelor's degrees must take the China Scholastic Competency Assessment (CSCA) and submit a valid score report alongside all other application materials.
Most scholarship applications require the following. Duke reviews every document for accuracy and completeness before you submit — so nothing gets missed.
