Guangdong and Greater Bay Area scholarship places expand alongside campus growth
Provincial and municipal funding has grown with the build-out of campuses in Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Zhuhai.
The Guangdong Provincial Government Scholarship funds full and partial awards at Sun Yat-sen University, South China University of Technology, Jinan University and other provincial institutions, applied for through the host university. Municipal funding in Shenzhen is substantial, particularly for graduate research at SUSTech, the HIT Shenzhen campus and the Shenzhen graduate schools of Peking and Tsinghua universities.

Sun Yat-sen University has dedicated allocations for Southeast Asian and African students, and the university also operates separate schemes for overseas Chinese and for Hong Kong, China / Macao, China / Taiwan, China students.
