The basic requirements for the application must be met first in order to be eligible for the scholarship.

Without the appropriate language certificate, one cannot participate in the 2025 scholarship review committee's evaluation.

The Chinese language preparatory self-supporting program is an independent project and is not covered by the scholarship. Therefore, one should seek out a preparatory college independently to complete Chinese language studies and obtain the HSK Level 4 certificate (with a score of 180 or above) first.
Then, the applicant shall use the HSK Level 4 certificate to apply for the SGS scholarship program accordingly.
