Dear Applicants and Supervisors,

As you may have known, China is confronted with a public health emergency caused by the novel coronavirus outbreak. Chinese people and the government are now making tremendous efforts to fight against this disease. Considering the current situation, we decide to extend the application deadline of ANSO scholarship and UCAS scholarship to 30th April 2020. The deadline for supervisors and referees to submit related materials are extended accordingly.

Meanwhile, we hope you keep an eye on the webpages of ANSO (http://www.anso.org.cn/), UCAS (http://english.ucas.ac.cn/index.php/admission/international-students/scholarship-financial-aid) and SCSIO (http://www.scsio.cas.cn/yjsjy/is/admin/).

If there is any further change in arrangement, we will update it immediately on the above platforms.

If you have questions regarding your application, please feel free to contact us. UCAS contact information is available in the original 2020 Call for Application (see http://english.ucas.ac.cn/index.php/admission/international-students/scholarship-financial-aid) and the institute information contact minyang@scsio.ac.cn..

We look forward to your coming this autumn.
