I. Scholarship application
First of all, no matter which country you apply for a master's/doctoral program, your motherland will always be your strong and reliable backing-learn about the master's program offered by the National Foundation of China:
The National Foundation of China offers a variety of scholarships, offering a total of 326 study abroad programs involving more than 50 countries. Applicants can be undergraduates, graduate students, doctoral students, or on-the-job employees who have already worked. As long as their majors and academic qualifications meet the requirements, the state will send you to study abroad for free, and not only will it subsidize your tuition, but your living expenses and air tickets will also be fully borne by the state.
Among them, one with the widest audience is a publicly funded postgraduate scholarship, and the other is a high-level publicly funded scholarship (doctor). Applications for these two scholarships begin at the end of March and end at the beginning of April each year. Then, if an interview is needed, an interview will be held in mid-May and the results will be announced at the end of May.
Both scholarships provide full financial support, including living expenses, tuition fees and round-trip air tickets.
Second, the school's publicly funded study abroad and exchange programs
In fact, many colleges and universities in China will have public study or exchange programs. You can pay more attention to such news. Schools often release various qualifications and application requirements for public study abroad one year in advance. Some programs go directly to cooperative foreign universities for one year after graduation, and then get a master's degree, while others go abroad for one semester and get an exchange diploma, but most of them are free.
Third, work-study programs.
Students studying abroad should also know that doing part-time jobs abroad is a way to reduce everyone's burden, and doing part-time jobs abroad is not a shameful thing. But every country has its own restrictions on part-time jobs, so pay special attention. Take the United States as an example. Everyone who studies legally and part-time in the United States holds a visa of F 1, while France in the United States stipulates that the visa of F 1 only allows everyone to work at school, and the working hours per week cannot exceed 20 hours, and they can work every week on holidays.
