The Jiangsu Jasmine Scholarship is funded by the Jiangsu Provincial Government in China and is part of the 'Study in Jiangsu' initiative. It supports international students who pursue full-time undergraduate, master's, doctoral, non-degree and exchange programmes at universities across Jiangsu Province, including Jiangsu Normal University (JSNU). The scheme has 2 main tracks. The Full Scholarship covers tuition, registration, laboratory and curriculum internship fees, provides free on-campus accommodation or a housing allowance of CNY 10,000 per year, a monthly living stipend of CNY 1,500, and comprehensive medical insurance. The Partial Scholarship offers fixed annual sums of CNY 20,000 for college students, CNY 30,000 for undergraduate and postgraduate students, or CNY 2,000 per month for non-degree and exchange students over a period of 3 to 12 months. Applicants must be non-Chinese citizens in good health, meet age limits of under 30 for undergraduate, under 35 for master's and under 40 for PhD, comply with Chinese laws and admission criteria, and should not already hold another Chinese government scholarship. Students who enrol before the 15th of a month receive a full stipend for that month, while those enrolling after the 15th receive half.
