APPENDIX C

Foreign Scholarship Students and
Fees for Self-Financing Foreign Students
(February 1, 19SSJ
State Education Commission
People's Republic of China
1. Starting February 1, 1985, the State Education Commission of the
People's Republic of China will apply the following standards in ex-
tending financial aid, denominated in renminbi, to foreign scholarship
students:
a. Monthly living stipend: 150 ynan for undergraduates; 170 ynan
for general advanced students and master's degree students; 190 ynan
for senior advanced students and doctorate degree students.
b. Monthly supplements for students majoring in physical education,
navigation, dance, theater and wind instruments is 30 ynan.
c. Monthly regional differential: 30 ynan for students in Guangdong
and Fujian provinces; 10 ynan for students in Gansu, Heilongjiang, Jilin
and Liaoning provinces.
The following expenses are covered directly by universities and col-
leges for foreign scholarship students (and are not included in grants
given to the students):
a. 90 ynan for lodging for each student, 20 ynan for medical care, 12
to 14 ynan for activities per month, 40 ynan per semester for books.
b. Other expenses, such as for furniture, bedding, water and elec-
tricity, central heating, cooling devices, laboratory equipment, field
trips and subsidies for winter clothing are covered by universities and
colleges, subject to certain regulations.
The total cost of such a scholarship is 6,000 ynan renminbi per aca-
demic year.

Ministry of Education (now the State Education Commission) in 1980
is obviously too low. The fees being paid by self-financing foreign stu-
dents are not covering the cost of their studies to their universities and
colleges. Therefore, starting September 1, 1985, Chinese universities
and colleges will charge self-financing foreign students the following
fees: (Calculated in U.S. dollars. Foreign currencies must be paid in
Foreign Exchange Certificates.)
a. Tuition (per person per academic year) Liberal arts: $1,200 for
undergraduates; $1,600 for master's degree students; $2,500 for doc-
torate degree students; $1,200 for general advanced students; $2,000
for senior advanced students.
Science, engineering, agriculture and medicine as well as physical
education and arts: $1,600 for undergraduates; $2,500 for master's de-
gree students; $4,000 for doctorate degree students; $2,000 for general
advanced students and $2,500 for senior advanced students.
Elementary Chinese language courses, and pre-university courses in
mathematics, physics and chemistry: $1,200.
b. Lodging fees: $1.50 a day per student in a double room (two beds)
in a campus dormitory. $4 per day for a single room, assuming the
college can provide this. If a student leaves the university or college,
either because he or she has completed his or her studies or has sus-
pended or discontinued them for any reason, his or her rent will be
assessed according to the days he or she has used the room.
c. Apart from the above-mentioned fees paid to the college by the
self-financing foreign students themselves, the Commission will con-
tinue to provide subsidies to universities and colleges that enroll self-
financing foreign students.
d. All expenses for board, medical care and field trips as well as for
field work, laboratory experiments and professional trips outside the
scope of the study program are to be paid by the self-financing foreign
students themselves.
e. Tuition and lodging fees may be paid in installments during the
academic year. However, half of the total must be paid before the start
of each semester. Students enrolled for more than half a year but less
than one year must pay a full-year's fees. Those enrolled for one se-
mester or less must pay a half-year's fees. Those who have not paid by
the required time will not be permitted to register. Payment may be
delayed in special cases only after the student's request in this regard
has been approved by university or college authorities. But five percent
of the total fee will be added on for late payment, a fee which must be
paid no later than one month into the semester.
f. The foreign currency paid by self-financing foreign students for
college expenses will be converted into Foreign Exchange Certificates

according to the exchange rates in effect on February 1 and September 1,
respectively.
g. Those who transfer to another university or college on their own
initiative may not receive a refund for fees paid. Fees for their studies
at the new university or college will be assessed according to regula-
tions.
h. These regulations do not apply to research scholars in China. Those
who enjoy mutual exemption from tuition or other expenses under
bilateral agreements are subject to the terms of their special arrange-
ments.
i. The fee scale for self-financing foreign students already studying
in China remains unchanged. Undergraduates enrolled in programs
leading to degrees may continue their studies under the old regulations
through graduation and advanced students may finish their predeter-
mined course. Anyone who wants to continue his or her studies beyond
the current program will do so according to the new regulations.
When these new regulations take effect, the old regulations governing
fees for self-financing foreign students will be terminated.
