Shandong University Freshman Scholarship

Overview

The Shandong University Freshman Scholarship supports outstanding international freshmen enrolled in undergraduate programmes at Shandong University. Funding is disbursed as a scholarship subsidy after registration; it does not reduce the billed tuition or accommodation amount.

Coverage

First Class (Outstanding): A — full tuition waiver for more than two years through the end of the major study period, plus a monthly living allowance for the same duration (calculated by reference to the China Scholarship Council’s accommodation standard); B — full tuition waiver for more than two years through the end of the major study period. Second Class (Excellence): A — 50%–100% tuition waiver in year one, then 30% tuition waiver in remaining years; B — 50%–100% tuition waiver for the first year only. Third Class (Endeavor): 10%–20% of annual tuition, equivalent to the registration fee.

Eligibility

Applicants must hold foreign nationality and a valid foreign passport, be physically and mentally healthy, and be friendly to China. They must abide by Chinese laws, meet Shandong University’s undergraduate admission requirements, maintain good academic performance, and not hold any other scholarship or grant concurrently.

Initial results are announced in June. Scholarships are paid once per year by 30 November. Awards are forfeited if enrolment is delayed due to illness or personal reasons.
