Yenching Scholars 2027 — Peking University (fully funded master's)

About this opportunity

The Yenching Academy at Peking University in Beijing selects a cohort of Yenching Scholars each year for an interdisciplinary master's program focused on China Studies. Applicants can come from any academic background. The Academy gives every scholar a fellowship covering tuition, accommodation, a monthly stipend, one round-trip travel fare and field study costs. International applicants must be non-Chinese citizens with a valid passport. Applications for the 2027 cohort opened September 1, 2026 and close November 30, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. Beijing time (that is the evening of November 29 in North America). Students at partner universities must first go through their home university's internal pre-selection, which may have an earlier deadline.

What you get

• Tuition and accommodation covered

International applicants must be non-Chinese citizens with a valid passport. Students and alumni of partner universities must first pass their home university's pre-selection.
