If you wish to study abroad and that too on a foreign government scholarship, now is your chance to make your dreams come true by applying for the China Scholarship Council (CSC) before the application deadline expires on December 28.
The scholarship — announced last month — provides an opportunity for Pakistani researchers and students to undertake studies and research in Chinese universities and aims to strengthen ties between the two countries’ educational systems.
Furthermore, the Chinese government has designated the Higher Education Commission (HEC) for these scholarships for the academic year 2024–2025 on behalf of the Government of Pakistan.
Applications for the concerned programme can be submitted to the related HEC portal or the CSC’s portal by December 28.
The move is aimed at promoting educational opportunities for foreign students and researchers pursuing bachelor’s, master’s or PhD degrees.
According to the official HEC website, the CSC — entrusted by China’s Ministry of Education — is responsible for the enrollment and the administration of Chinese Government Scholarship Program.
Furthermore, only those applicants are considered under the Chinese Government Scholarship Program 2024-25 who have already a valid Higher Education Aptitude Test (HAT) or Higher Education Undergraduate Studies Admission Test (USAT) score (obtained after January 01, 2022).
The designated Chinese universities offer a wide variety of academic programs in Science, Engineering, Agriculture, Medicine, Economics, Legal Studies, Management, Education, History, Literature, Philosophy and Fine Arts and more for scholarship recipients at all levels.
