Shaanxi Normal University Scholarship 2026 Open
The prestigious Shaanxi Normal University (SNNU) in Xi’an, China, is inviting outstanding students from around the world to apply for the 2026 CSC High-Level Postgraduate Scholarship — a fully funded opportunity for those seeking to pursue Master’s or Ph.D. degrees in one of China’s top-tier universities.
Located in the historical and cultural capital of Xi’an, SNNU stands as a key institution directly administered by the Ministry of Education and recognized under China’s Double First-Class Initiative. The university offers a unique academic and cultural experience across its two picturesque campuses — the modern Chang’an Campus and the classic Yanta Campus — and maintains international partnerships with over 200 universities in 40 countries.
The CSC High-Level Postgraduate Program covers all major educational expenses, including full tuition, registration fees, free on-campus accommodation, monthly living stipends (CNY 3,000 for Master’s students and CNY 3,500 for Ph.D. candidates), and comprehensive medical insurance. With no application fees required, this opportunity makes quality higher education in China accessible to talented students worldwide.
SNNU offers both Chinese-taught and English-taught programs. English-based study options include fields such as Chinese Philosophy, Cultural Heritage Conservation, Materials Science, Chemistry, Education, and Computer Science and Technology. Applicants for Chinese-taught programs are required to hold HSK Level 4 or above, while those applying for English-taught programs must provide proof of proficiency with IELTS 6.0 or TOEFL 60.
Eligible applicants must be non-Chinese citizens, in good health, and meet the educational and age requirements — under 35 years for Master’s degree candidates and under 40 for Ph.D. applicants. Those with research achievements or academic awards will receive preference during evaluation.
The application process involves two steps: submitting an online application via both the SNNU portal (https://snnu.17gz.org/) and the CSC portal (https://studyinchina.csc.edu.cn/) using the Agency Number 10718 (Type B), followed by a university review and interview. Final selection will be made by CSC experts, and results will be published on SNNU’s official website.
The deadline to apply for the Shaanxi Normal University CSC High-Level Postgraduate Scholarship 2026 is February 23, 2026. International applicants are advised to submit early through official channels only, as SNNU does not authorize any third parties or agents for this program.
