MOFCOM Scholarship 2026

MOFCOM Scholarship is an international scholarship programme funded by the Ministry of Commerce of the People's Republic of China to support talent development from developing countries. It is typically offered for postgraduate study in China, especially Master's and PhD programmes, at a group of designated Chinese universities.

The scholarship is generally considered fully funded. Based on the reference posting, support can include full tuition fees, accommodation, a monthly living allowance, international return airfare, local transportation in China, and medical insurance. Available subjects commonly align with public sector and development priorities, such as public administration, business, engineering, information technology, environmental management, education leadership, international relations, law, public health, agriculture, journalism, and related fields.

MOFCOM Scholarship opportunities are often administered through Chinese embassies, national government agencies, or designated authorities in the applicant's home country. In the reference posting provided, the call was routed through the Higher Education Council of Rwanda and targeted current Rwandan public servants. This suggests that eligibility can vary by country call, even though the broader programme is international.

Applicants usually need to choose an eligible programme at one of the participating Chinese universities and ensure that the proposed study area matches their academic or professional background. Universities mentioned in the reference posting include top Chinese institutions such as Peking University, Tsinghua University, and Renmin University of China, among others.

To apply, candidates should normally watch for the official call released through the relevant authority in their country, prepare academic and professional documents, and complete the required application steps for both the scholarship and the host university if requested. Because procedures and deadlines may differ by country and intake, applicants should carefully follow the instructions in the call for their nationality.
