Dear all CSC Ph.D. students,

According to the notice of the China Scholarship Council (CSC), outstanding CSC Ph.D. students could apply for an extension for up to one academic year once during their study period to better complete their studies. In other words, Ph.D. students who have already applied for or received a scholarship extension for one year are not qualified to apply for an extension again. The requirements related to the scholarship extension of 2024 for Ph.D. students are notified as follows.
