Chinese government award for outstanding self finance students abroad

The Chinese government award for outstanding self-financed students abroad is an academic award established by the China Scholarship Council in 2003. The Chinese government chose worldwide recipients annually based on a record of outstanding accomplishments in any discipline.[1] This award is the highest award Chinese government gives to graduate students studying outside China. They do not receive financial support from Chinese government.[2] To date, the recipients include students from 33 countries, including the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, Japan, Australia, Singapore and Canada.[3]

The number of Chinese students leaving China to study abroad is more than half a million each year, making this prestigious award highly competitive. Currently, there are 500 students awarded yearly. Among them, ten extraordinary prizes go to the top awardees with a $10000 cash award and a certificate; the rest of the receipts win a one-time $6000 cash award and a certificate.[4]
