      About the Scholarship program:

      The Confucius Institute Scholarship program provides financial aid for students, scholars and Chinese language teachers to study in a Chinese university for a limited period. Each year there are a limited number of scholarships available.

Applications are then made directly to the host universities in China, and the final decision rests with them and not with the Confucius Institute.
