the same university.
Step-9 at least three acceptance letters are enough for applying for the
scholarship. Moreover, according to the Chinese government scholarship, you are
liable to apply for only three universities on the Chinese scholarship council
(CSC). If you apply for more than three universities by using a different email
account then you may stand disqualified as from a different email address you will
be using the same passport number. So make sure you do not apply to more than 3
universities.
WHAT TO DO IF
YOU DO NOT SELECT IN CSC SCHOLARSHIP?
If unfortunately you are not selected for the CSC scholarship then
there is another scholarship in china that is “Shanghai Government Scholarship (SGS)”, and many students do not
know about this scholarship. But for Shanghai
Government Scholarship (SGS) you only apply to particular universities
which are available merely in Shanghai province. This scholarship is further divided
into two subcategories. There are two types of classes in this scholarship one
is Class A which is a fully-funded scholarship
and another is Class B which is a
partial scholarship.
Avoid some things to do for applying for scholarships.
There are some points which you have to
avoid for losing the opportunity. Below are significant points which you do not
have to do during applying for the scholarship.
◘ Don’t bust so
many emails to the professors at the same time.
◘ Do not apply
to more than three universities.
◘ Email to at
least two professors of the same university at the same time.
Keep the gap of one week for his response if does not give any
response then try to email another professor.
When to and how to email a professor for an acceptance letter?
The best time for sending emails to the professors to get the
acceptance letter is late at night ( 12-1.00 a.m) (Pakistan standard time)
You have to send maximum 24 emails per day to different professors
of different universities or else your emails automatically go into the spam
box of the professor and in this way, the professor will not be able to read
your email. To ensure this thing otherwise you may lose the chances of your
scholarship.

You must be careful during applying for the scholarship read its
requirement and criteria carefully. Keep all the documents ready as some
universities make it mandatory as well for the student to send them hard copies
of their attested photocopy and send your documents at least one month before the
deadline as due to COVID pandemic courier services takes time to reach our documents
to concerned the university so, for this reason, it is necessary to send the
documents earlier.
