Upon approval of China Scholarship Council (“CSC”), The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen (“University”) has been elected to participate in its Distinguished International Students Program.

Under this scheme, undergraduate students of the University will receive funding from CSC from 2018 on, which covers expenses for one round-trip ticket and living stipends.

CSC organizes and executes the program to boost cooperation between domestic and international universities and institutions, promote cultural diversification, and strengthen students’ sense of innovation, practical skills and global competency.

Since inception, the University has spared no effort to expand exchange and cooperation with world top universities. Up to now, it has concluded exchange programs with 43 global universities, including University of Cambridge, UCLA, UBC, Bocconi University, and University of Minnesota. More than half of its enrolled students have overseas study experiences, ranking among the top in China.

This event demonstrates that national education authorities have recognized the University’s internationalization endeavors, opening new channels to fund students who would like to engage with world on a large stage.
