China Scholarships 2026 – Study in China Without IELTS

Are you dreaming of studying in China but don’t have an IELTS or TOEFL score? Good news: many fully funded scholarships in China accept international students without IELTS if you can show other proof of English or Chinese language ability.

What the Scholarship Offers

These China scholarships, often offered through the Chinese Government Scholarship (CSC) and other programs, can include:

• Full tuition coverage at a Chinese university

• Free or subsidized on-campus accommodation

• Monthly living stipend to help daily expenses

• Medical insurance coverage

Different universities and scholarship types may vary in benefits, but many major public universities in China support fully funded opportunities for bachelor’s, master’s and PhD students.

Who Can Apply?

Most China scholarships are open to students from outside China who:

• Are non-Chinese citizens

• Have good academic records

• Meet age and academic requirements depending on the degree level

Language Requirements

A key advantage of many China scholarships is that IELTS or TOEFL is not always required. If your previous degree was taught in English, some universities accept a proof of English instruction from your institution instead of an IELTS score.
For programs taught in Chinese, you can sometimes submit a Chinese language proficiency certificate (HSK) or take Chinese language courses before your degree starts.

How to Apply

To apply for China scholarships without IELTS:

1. Choose a scholarship programme (e.g., CSC or university scholarship)

2. Check eligibility and language alternatives

3. Prepare documents like transcripts, motivation letter, and passport copy

4. Submit online through official scholarship portals or university admission systems

Always read the specific documentation requirements for each scholarship and university.
