Study in Private Project Universities1 Universities

Private schools, also known as non-governmental, or nonstate schools, are not administered by local, state or national governments but managed by people or non-governmental organization; thus, they retain the right to select their students and are funded in whole or in part by charging their students tuition, rather than relying on mandatory taxation through public (government) funding; at some private schools students may be able to get a scholarship, which makes the cost cheaper, depending on a talent the student may have (e.g. sport scholarship, art scholarship, academic scholarship), financial need, or tax credit scholarships that might be available. There are over 300 private universities in China.
