To improve the funding strength for the Humboldt scholars, they have cut down the number of people allowed to 70 since 2013, which makes the application competition fierce.

The process of selection for Humboldt Research Fellowship is strict, and there will be approximately 100 famous scientists in different fields who will have a discussion over the applicants. The only criterion is whether the applicants have high academic level and research capability at all. Humboldt Research Fellowship has provided fellowship for over 24,000 scholars from more than 130 countries since 1953. There are 40 of these scientists who won Nobel Prize. Over 1600 Chinese scholars have been supported since the 1930s.
