05 / Make the numbers work
A good plan includes the everyday.
Request a complete university cost sheet in CNY: tuition, dormitory, insurance and arrival charges. Check whether utilities or a room deposit are extra. If a scholarship includes accommodation, ask whether it reserves a room or provides an allowance.
Funding & scholarships
Check the Chinese Government Scholarship route alongside university-specific awards. Follow the application channel in the current call and confirm whether the university needs a separate admission application. Read the award letter for tuition, dormitory and insurance coverage.
