Scholarships provide the following:

  • Registration fees and materials for the Institute
  • Double-occupancy accommodation at the host university during the Institute
  • Breakfast and lunch are provided Monday through Friday; participants must make their own arrangements for dinner and weekend meals
  • North America-based participants will receive an international travel stipend of $500 (payable in RMB on site at the institute)

This program requires a $100 deposit. The deposit is collected prior to departure and returned, pending successful completion of the Institute.

Eligibility Requirements for Scholarship Recipients

Teachers who previously participated in a Hanban-sponsored AP or Pre-AP Summer Institute in China are not eligible for this program. Applicants selected to participate in both the AP Fellows Program and the 2009 Summer Institutes in China are eligible to receive a scholarship from only one of these programs.

Application Process

The 2009 Summer Institutes in China are no longer accepting applications.
