About the scholarship
The Chinese Government Scholarship (CSC) is run by the Ministry of Education of the People’s Republic of China. At Dalian University of Technology (DUT), the scholarship is offered through the High-Level Postgraduate Program and the Silk Road Program — known as Type B (CSC agency number 10141). The 2027 call was published by DUT’s School of International Education on 23 September 2026, with applications running from 1 November 2026 to 15 February 2027 for master’s and doctoral applicants only — this is not a bachelor’s award. The 2026 window (1 November 2025 – 15 February 2026) is closed.
