Application Process of HIT Scholarships of Batch February 2024
HIT will be recruiting international students for various Chinese scholarships for February and August intakes and here’s a step-by-step guide to applying for the Harbin Institute of Technology Scholarship:
- My top recommendation for you would be to seek acceptance letter from any HIT professor who would be willing to supervise your degree/research and for that purpose you will be issued with an acceptance letter from that professor. This is an optional step but in case you get successful in receiving an acceptance letter from any HIT professor then you will have high chances of selection for HIT scholarship.
- Your next step would be to check out open scholarship options at HIT admissions page from where you can see if your degree programme is supported through those available scholarships or not.
- If you apply for CSC scholarship of HIT then you will be required to submit campus China scholarship form, select scholarship type B, and then add agency number of HIT as 10213 for CSC scholarship and submit that application and download that CSC-HIT scholarship form.
