CSC Scholarship Document Templates FAQs
Verified answers regarding physical examination validity, professor recommendation signatories, English proficiency exemptions, and study plan lengths.
Q. Who is officially eligible to sign recommendation letters for the CSC Scholarship?
The China Scholarship Council (CSC) strictly mandates that both recommendation letters must be signed exclusively by Full Professors or Associate Professors (ε―ζζ). Letters signed by Assistant Professors, Lecturers, or corporate employers are routinely disqualified. Letters must be on official university letterhead, bear an institutional (.edu) email address, and include the referee's official contact number.
Q. What is the official Foreigner Physical Examination Form for China?
The Foreigner Physical Examination Form (ε€ε½δΊΊδ½ζ Όζ£ζ₯葨) is an official 2-page Chinese/English bilingual medical form mandated by the China Scholarship Council (CSC) and Ministry of Foreign Affairs China for international degree applicants and Chinese Student Visa (X1 / X2) processing.
Q. How long is the China visa medical physical examination valid?
The physical examination is strictly valid for 6 months from the date of completion. We strongly advise applicants to schedule their examination within 60 days of the university admission deadline so that the document remains fully valid for the Chinese Embassy visa stamping process.
Q. Which laboratory test reports must be physically attached to the medical form?
You must attach certified hospital laboratory printouts for Blood Serology (HIV, Syphilis, and Hepatitis B/C), a Chest X-Ray radiologist report, and an ECG (Electrocardiogram) trace. Submitting the 2-page form without attached hospital laboratory sheets can lead to immediate rejection.
Q. Can I apply for Chinese university scholarships without IELTS or TOEFL?
Yes! Over 95% of Chinese universities under CSC Type B, Silk Road, and Presidential Schemes accept an English Proficiency Certificate (EPC) issued by your previous university verifying that your prior degree was instructed in English.
Q. How many words should a CSC Study Plan / Research Proposal be?
CSC regulations mandate a minimum of 800 words for Master's degree applicants and 1,000+ words for Doctoral (PhD) candidates. A strong proposal covers academic background, literature review, proposed methodology in China, and post-graduation impact.
Q. How do I request an Acceptance Letter from a Chinese university professor?
Send a polite, professional email to prospective faculty members whose research matches your background. Attach your academic CV, research proposal outline, and transcripts. Be sure to clarify that you are applying for the fully funded CSC Scholarship (Type B), meaning your studies require no laboratory funding from the professor.
