What is a Belt and Road scholarship?
Under the Belt and Road Initiative, many Chinese universities, provincial governments and the central government offer dedicated scholarships to students from partner countries along the route. They typically cover tuition and accommodation and add a monthly stipend, and often prioritise fields tied to regional cooperation — engineering, trade, language, and traditional Chinese medicine. The awards below are the Belt and Road scholarships in our database, grouped here so you can compare them in one place instead of hunting across dozens of separate university notices.
