University Scholarships
Most Chinese universities offer first-year and in-course scholarships of their own — from full tuition waivers to one-off awards for academic performance, usually funded from the university's own budget. Coverage is set by each university (or even each college).
University scholarships are listed program by program — every program page shows the exact awards offered by that college.
