Apply today: Canada-China Scholars’ Exchange Program
The 2025 Canada-China Scholars’ Exchange Program (CCSEP) is now accepting applications! Canadian students, faculty, researchers, and mid-career professionals are eligible to apply. This prestigious scholarship offers a unique opportunity to pursue post-secondary studies, research, and Chinese language training at leading institutions across China.
Since its establishment in 1973, the CCSEP has been a flagship initiative of Global Affairs Canada and the Ministry of Education of the People’s Republic of China. Over the years, it has helped foster deeper mutual understanding, built strong academic and professional ties between the two countries, and developed a generation of Canadian leaders with China-related expertise.
This year’s program brings exciting changes that expand eligibility and create new opportunities for participants:
- Longer Stays for Graduate Students: Graduate students can now stay in China for up to 24 months with the option to obtain a graduate degree from designated learning institutions in China;
- Shorter Stays for Professionals: The minimum stay requirement for faculty, researchers, and mid-career professionals has been reduced from 2 months to 1 month, offering greater flexibility for those seeking short-term professional development opportunities.
