Guangdong Provincial Government Outstanding International Student Scholarship
广东省政府来粤留学生优秀奖学金
Annual scholarship established by the Guangdong Provincial Government in 2013 to attract outstanding international students pursuing degree programs at higher education institutions in Guangdong Province. Awarded as a fixed annual lump sum per student by degree level, to both newly-admitted and currently-enrolled full-time degree students who demonstrate excellent academic performance (separate new-student and in-study tracks).
Details
Administered by Department of Education of Guangdong Province.
- Coverage
The scholarship is a fixed annual lump-sum award per student, NOT a monthly stipend. Amounts by degree level: Bachelor's degree students: CNY 10,000/year; Master's degree students: CNY 20,000/year; Doctoral degree students: CNY 30,000/year.
These amounts are confirmed on the GDUFS Institute for International Education page (official university host for the provincial scholarship). The scholarship is intended to subsidize tuition, accommodation, and living costs but is disbursed as a single annual sum.

Must not have received or currently hold any other scholarship in the same year (only minor attendance/merit prizes are exempt). Applicants under the in-study track must typically have completed at least one year of study at the institution; newly-admitted students apply under a separate new-student track.
- Deadline
Annual application period typically May 1 to June 30 (per GDUFS page). Final selection by the Department of Education of Guangdong Province.
