Yunnan University of Finance and Economics takes part in the Yunnan Provincial Government Scholarship for International Students (云南省政府奖学金), which the Yunnan Provincial People's Government establishes and the provincial Education Department regulates. It funds degree study (bachelor's, master's, doctoral) and non-degree study (preparatory courses and Chinese-language training) at YUFE, and is aimed mainly at South and Southeast Asian countries — Laos, Vietnam, Thailand, Myanmar, Cambodia, India, Nepal and Sri Lanka — with applicants from other Asian countries also welcome. Degree applicants need HSK level 4 (within its two-year validity) and an age normally no more than 25 (bachelor's), 35 (master's) or 40 (doctoral); Chinese-language students need senior high-school education or above and are normally no more than 55. The university covers tuition, insurance and on-campus accommodation and pays a monthly living allowance of 1,400 RMB (preparatory, Chinese-language and bachelor's students), 1,700 RMB (master's) or 2,000 RMB (doctoral) for a period normally equal to the standard programme length. Applicants submit the application form and documents to the Overseas Education School; the school reviews and recommends candidates to the Yunnan Education Department, whose experts decide the awards and publish them. The 2024 window ran from 2024-01-11 to 2024-04-01, and YUFE's 2026/2027 candidate ranking shows the scheme still running.
