The Alliance of National and International Science Organizations (ANSO) and the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) collaborate to award the highly esteemed, fully funded CAS-ANSO Scholarship. It seeks to assist exceptional foreign students who want to study for master’s or doctoral degrees in China at prestigious research centers like the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences (UCAS) and the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC).
Access to top-notch research facilities, cutting-edge labs, and excellent academic supervision in a variety of scientific fields are all made possible by the scholarship. In addition to fostering international cooperation, especially with states in the Belt and Road areas and other developing countries, it is intended to foster creative thinking, research abilities, and scientific knowledge.
The CAS-ANSO Scholarship provides recipients with all-inclusive financial assistance, including health insurance, living expenses, tuition, and research-related fees, so they can devote all of their attention to their studies and research. In addition to providing financial aid, the program immerses students in a vibrant academic setting, introducing them to peers and top researchers from across the globe, building a worldwide network, and preparing them to lead science and research in the future.
