$500 SCHOLARSHIP FOR EDUCATIONAL TRIPS TO CHINA

You can choose a Summer trip with Summer Advantage...

AIFS Summer Advantage offers high school students the opportunity to spend 4 weeks studying for college credit at Nanjing University. Summer Advantage Nanjing is designed specifically to take full advantage of all that this historic former capital city has to offer. Daily Chinese language and culture classes are complemented by activities that show students Nanjing’s past from the Confucius Temple, Ming Tombs and Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Mausoleum to the tree-lined streets, peaceful lake areas and the Yangtze River.

Education in China should not be limited to the classroom and 4 weeks should not be spent in Nanjing alone. That is why Summer Advantage Nanjing includes opportunities to study through guided excursions to Suzhou, historic Beijing (literally, “the capital of the North”), and Shanghai, the financial and trade dynamo of China.

The $500 MLEP scholarship can be awarded to a student in your school who plans to study in China with AIFS Summer Advantage.

Or choose a trip with ACIS...

ACIS provides high quality short-term educational trips for groups of students and teachers throughout the year. From the Himalayan peaks of Tibet to the Great Wall, ACIS China trips are an unforgettable way to explore and better understand this fascinating country. Lead a group of your students to China and receive $500 towards the overall cost of your trip, or award it to one student to help with their program fees. ACIS trips to China range from 9 to 15 days, with opportunities like Chinese language study, visits with local students and families, or a Yangtze River cruise.
