Huazhong Agricultural University Scholarship (HZAUS) is established by Huazhong Agricultural University (HZAU) to encourage and support some excellent Bachelor’s or Master’s foreign students of HZAU to continue studying at HZAU as Master’s or Doctoral students.
Huazhong Agricultural University ( HZAU ) is based in Wuhan, Hubei province in central China.
