The scholarship supports students pursuing different academic qualifications, including:

• Undergraduate degrees
• Master’s degrees
• Doctoral degrees
• Undergraduate preparatory programmes, where offered

Shanghai Government Scholarship Benefits

The scholarship is divided into two main categories.

Type A is the full scholarship category and provides comprehensive financial support throughout the approved study period.

It covers:

• Full tuition fees.
• Accommodation expenses or an approved accommodation arrangement.
• Monthly living allowance.

This category is available for eligible undergraduate, master’s, doctoral, and undergraduate preparatory programmes, subject to the participating university’s offerings.

It covers:

• Full tuition fees.
