China Peking University Chinese Government Scholarship (CGS) Bilateral Program (Type A)

Peking University instructs that applicants who wish to enroll through the Chinese Government Scholarship Bilateral Program (Type A) must submit their admission application to Peking University before applying for the scholarship. After passing the initial eligibility examination, applicants can download a certificate from the application system, which is needed for applying for the Chinese Government Scholarship Bilateral Program (Type A), and is not the final admission results.

The scholarship application process is tied to admission to Peking University’s programmes, including the Undergraduate Program, Postgraduate Program, and General Visiting Student Program, with separate certificate availability periods referenced for each category.

Selection mechanics referenced by Peking University include an initial eligibility examination to determine admission eligibility, after which applicants download the required certificate from the application system. Applicants then submit the CGS Type A scholarship application together with the certificate to the scholarship application processing authorities.

Peking University provides certificate availability periods for Undergraduate/Yuke, Postgraduate, and Visiting student categories. The page also notes that recipients of Chinese Government Scholarship for English-taught Master’s programmes must pay the tuition fee difference because the Chinese Government Scholarship does not fully cover the tuition fees for these English-taught programmes. Additional support duration and post-study obligations are not described.
