EASC Intensive Chinese Language Scholarship Application 2024
Sponsor: The Ohio State University East Asian Studies Center
Open to: OSU undergraduates
Description: EASC, contingent upon available funds, will offer scholarships in the amount of $1,500 for intensive Chinese language study during the summer or academic year. The purpose of these awards is to encourage students to accelerate their acquisition of Chinese language skills while pursuing double majors or dual degree programs in Chinese language and related fields. OSU undergraduates who will be enrolled in Chinese language courses above the first-year (1101-1102) level are eligible. This includes students who will have completed either 1) first-year Chinese at OSU or another institution with comparable results, or 2) Summer Intensive Chinese at OSU or another institution with comparable results. Preference will be given to students who 1) will be enrolled in the Intensive Chinese Program or who have already been pursuing an accelerated course of Chinese language study, and 2) are presently pursuing a double major or dual degree program or who have demonstrable plans for doing so.
Application Process: Items needed to complete the online application include: a statement describing your present and proposed future academic program and the role of Chinese language in that program (maximum of one single-spaced, typed page; in pdf format) and an up-to-date OSU advising report. Applicants are also responsible for ensuring the submission of three letters of recommendation (using the Recommendation Form above) by the application deadline. At least one of the letters should be from a person who has taught you in formal Chinese language courses and can evaluate your current speaking, listening, reading, and writing capabilities, and at least one should be from a faculty member (i.e. assistant professor, associate professor, or professor).
