In support of President Obama’s 100,000 Strong Initiative, the Chinese Ministry of Education is offering 10,000 scholarships through the China Scholarship Council for American students to study at many of their top universities. These scholarships are offered under the U.S.-China Consultation on People-to-People Exchange (CPE) and are therefore called the "CPE scholarships."
The scholarships cover all in-country costs, including tuition, housing, and an appropriate stipend. To take advantage of these scholarships, your university must have a credit transfer agreement with one of the Chinese universities listed below. Students must apply for the scholarship through the appropriate Chinese partner university. Students should start by contacting their home school’s study abroad office which can contact its partner universities in China directly and ask how to apply for a CPE scholarship to study abroad at that location.
Additional scholarships are available for American students who wish to enroll directly at these Chinese universities for full-degree programs. Please contact the Chinese universities directly for information on those scholarships (which are different than the CPE scholarships). If your college or university has formal, credit-transfer partnerships with any of the Chinese universities listed below, you may be eligible for full scholarships for semester or year-long study programs in China!
The U.S.-China relationship is perhaps the most consequential bilateral relationship of our time, and we must ensure that our young people are gaining China-related skills and knowledge to compete and succeed in the 21st century. Studying in China can help open doors for your students personally and professionally. We encourage students to apply for these scholarships and become one of President Obama’s 100,000 Strong!
