Beijing Chinese Language Scholarship

About this scholarship

This is a one-year Chinese language course in Beijing for the September 2026 intake. After the scholarship you pay 5,000 RMB a year. University accommodation is 600 to 900 RMB a month, and unlike most programmes you are free to live outside the campus if you would rather find your own room.

Admissions move quickly here. A pre-admission decision takes 3 to 5 days and the JW letter you need for your visa follows within 1 to 2 weeks. The course is open to applicants of all nationalities aged 18 to 30, and no CSCA exam is required.

  • A valid passport with at least three years to expiry.

What the award covers

The scholarship brings the course fee down to 5,000 RMB per year, which you pay to the university. Accommodation is 600 to 900 RMB a month on top of that, and you may instead rent outside the campus at your own cost. Living costs, flights and visa fees are yours, as on every programme.

Timeline

The intake is September 2026 and seats are limited. A pre-admission decision comes back in 3 to 5 days once your file is complete, and the JW letter for your visa follows 1 to 2 weeks after that. Get your police clearance and medical form started first, as they are the slowest documents.

Fees

The scholarship itself is free. You never pay a university or the Chinese government to be considered, and you should treat anyone who asks as a scam. Our office charges a clearly stated service fee for placement and processing, explained in full before you commit to anything.
