2027/2028 Silk Road Chinese Government Scholarship at Nanjing Forestry University: Master’s and PhD Opportunities

Overview

Nanjing Forestry University in China has announced preparations for the 2027/2028 academic year under the Silk Road Chinese Government Scholarship Programme. Implemented by the Ministry of Education in cooperation with the China Scholarship Council, the initiative supports international talent development and educational cooperation with countries participating in the Belt and Road Initiative. The university plans to apply for scholarship projects covering full-time master's and doctoral studies in strategic fields such as green development, the digital economy, artificial intelligence, energy, taxation, finance, disaster reduction, and teacher training.

Requirements

The current university announcement concerns internal selection among academic colleges and proposed scholarship projects rather than student admissions. Prospective international applicants should note that student eligibility requirements, application documents, specific academic programmes, eligible countries, and individual application deadlines have not yet been confirmed or published. The initial phase involves academic colleges submitting internal project proposals based on their academic strengths before the university selects a single project to submit to the China Scholarship Council.

Key dates

Internal project proposals from academic colleges must be submitted electronically to the School of International Education by 17:00 on 13 November 2026. The final university project submission must reach the China Scholarship Council by 17:00 on 8 March 2027. International students are advised to monitor official updates from the university for future student application dates once project approval is finalised.
