Are the tuition fees for studying abroad funded by the state government free of charge?
When studying abroad under government funding, generally speaking, there is no need to spend money.
However, differences between regions and countries may result in smaller fees and different ways to cover them. The following will introduce from different angles the issue of whether it costs money to study abroad.
Will the government bear the cost?
1. Contact the officially appointed person: The International Cooperation and Exchange Office and the International Education Center, which are responsible for school-related matters, will arrange accommodation, air tickets and other expenses.
2. School financial support: In order to attract outstanding students to the school to supplement their talent pool, some schools will provide partial or full tuition exemptions and provide basic guarantees such as food, clothing, and accommodation for international students.
3. Funding projects: Many government departments provide different sponsorship plans, such as the China Scholarship Council (CSC) and various provincial governments and enterprises.
Other fee regulations
1. Travel insurance fees: According to the "Regulations on Returning and Settling Overseas Chinese", long-term foreign students should participate in personal insurance, so some regional governments stipulate that government-sponsored international students must purchase it. Overseas travel insurance generally costs around RMB 500.
2. Ticket requirements: Go to the airport to take the designated flight and flight within the specified time. If you miss the specified time for some reason, you will have to bear the consequences such as additional air tickets.
3. Academic exchange activity fees: Students need to pay related fees for participating in international conferences, examinations and other activities.
Conclusion
In general, there is usually no cost for public study abroad. The government and schools usually provide corresponding financial support, such as tuition fees, accommodation and living expenses, to allow students to receive basic education for free.
In order to protect the safety and rights of students, relevant insurance and protection will also be provided to students when they are studying abroad. However, it cannot be ruled out that in individual cases, there may be some small fees or other hidden burdens, so it is best to know more relevant information before applying in order to make a comprehensive assessment.
