🏁 Conclusion

The Guizhou University CSC Scholarship 2027–2028 is an excellent fully funded route to a 211 / Double First-Class university in Southwest China — free tuition and dormitory, CNY 3,000–3,500 per month, and full insurance, with both Chinese-taught (HSK 4 ≥ 230) and English-taught (TOEFL 80 / IELTS 6.0) options. But the timeline is tight: the GZU platform closes on 15 December 2026, interviews follow at the colleges, and only then does the CSC step open. Gather your notarized documents, 6-month recommendation letters, 1,000+ word study plan and your 2–3 minute self-introduction video now, and submit well before mid-December. Good luck!
