The Chinese Government Scholarship (CSC) is a significant opportunity for Pakistani students seeking to pursue higher education in China. The CSC program offers various scholarships to international students, including those from Pakistan, allowing them to undertake undergraduate, master's, doctoral degrees, and research programs in Chinese universities.

The Chinese Scholarship Council, an agency of the Chinese government, is providing research and study opportunities for Pakistani scholars and students at Chinese universities in an effort to strengthen ties between the two countries' educational systems. HEC is the designated agency for these scholarships for the academic year 2024–2025 on behalf of the Government of Pakistan. The People's Republic of China's Ministry of Education has given the China Scholarship Council (CSC) authority over the enrollment and management of the Chinese Government Scholarship Program.
