U of T Forestry welcomes China Scholarship Council PhD students!

In partnership with the University of Toronto, the China Scholarship Council (CSC) offers scholarships to outstanding Chinese students who will pursue doctoral studies at the University of Toronto (U of T). For doctoral students selected by the CSC, U of T undertakes to cover the cost of tuition while the CSC will provide the student with a stipend sufficient to cover living expenses (including UHIP), return airfare and visa application fees.

In order to qualify for a CSC doctoral scholarship, the candidate must be a Chinese citizen. Eligible students will have excellent marks, and will undertake to return to China upon completion of their studies.
