Well, first of all, thanks for your answers. Sorry for forgetting all the background story-
I'm a B.A student in the East Asian Department in Tel Aviv University, Israel.
This is my last year of school, and so I applied for the CSC through my school. Usually, there are
4 scholarships that are annually given by the CSC to the top students of the Chinese language
class. This year I was lucky enough (or talented enough, whatever) to get the scholarship through
an extra quota the university was given (raising the number of scholarship receiving students to .
So we've all met the Chinese consulate's education representative and he gave us some information
such as:
1. We will get dorms for free (but he didn't say what kind of dorms)
2. We will get a monthly payment (but he didn't say how much, just that it's very little)
3. We may write BLCU or Fudan, but in most cases people don't get into the quota or admitted too
late, so there's no guarantee for studying in Beijing or Shanghai
4. The answers about where we study will be given to us only by mid-July, there was no information
he could tell us about admission.
5. The scholarship covers: books, dorms, admission, medical health care. It does not cover: Flight
(ouch, there go 1,200$, luckily the dollar is on a low )
6. Other than that, he told us how to fill the forms.

I've filled up everything and handed it all to the consulate, I've had to go to the HIV clinic to
do the HIV test and pay a small donation to them, but other than that, no problems.
about the contact in China- I've filled the address and phone numbers of the Israeli embassy in
China, that's what I've been told by the Chinese consulate to fill, I guess everyone can do that
too.
After having it all finished, I guess all there is to do is to cross fingers that all will go
smoothly and I will get in one of the places I asked for.
One thing, however, still remains unsolved- What are the dates? What is the academic schedule in
China? I know it's from September to July, but can you tell me the exact dates of the semesters?
Thanks a bunch, you've helped a lot and I hope next year I can help other people who will probably
have the same questions as I've had.

the dates are different for every school. but its generally from september to june.

other CSC awards.

thanks for all the info! I never thought I'll find it all in one place and written so clearly.
If you know something about the exact date school starts in Fudan, please tell me because Fudan's
website doesn't say anything. Chinese internet is (still) an unexplored territory for me....

Hi all,

After a quick browse through the forum, I did not find what I was looking for... maybe I missed it
or maybe it's not here and someone could help me out...

I want to confirm that the MOE received my application, or at least that it reached Washington DC
on it's way. Does anyone have a contact at the CSC in Beijing or at the DC Embassy whom I could
reach on this?

Also, I found the contact page on the China Embassy's education site but all the phone numbers I
tried went straight to voicemail. The website I used was
http://www.sino-education.org/english/contactus.htm.

This is yet another example of my super anal-retentiveness but I feel the need to confirm that
they have my app and I'm hesitant to bother the nice woman at the SF consulate anymore Thanks in
advance for any help!

zmblum,
i dont know if the csc people will get back to you...
but ill send you the contact of the dude in charge in dc.
and he'll probably be able to confirm. though im not sure.
tell me how it goes!

I emailed Extrapages contact in DC. He was nice in his response but not helpful at all. He told me
to call the San Francisco consulate even I am trying to confirm from an outside source that they
did what they were supposed to (send my app to the MOE in Beijing). O well... I'll try to email
the MOE and see what they can tell me.

Thanks for the contact info Extrapages.
