Which Scholarship to Target?

If you're seeking full funding, either CSC or SGS Type A are your best bets for Master’s or PhD. For Bachelor’s, CSC offers full coverage; SGS Type A is not available for undergraduates at Shanghai University (only partial). The SHU New International Student Scholarship adds another possibility, especially for graduate studies.

From other applicants:

“CSC (Chinese Government Scholarship) is usually the better option … covers more costs … SGS may not cover accommodation or stipend.” Reddit
