Starting from fall 2002, VU offers, with the help of a very generous
grant from the Freeman Foundation, a new scholarship (Valparaiso
University Chinese and Japanese Studies Scholarship) to incoming
students. A total of 6 such scholarships will be offered each
year. Each scholarship carries a maximum amount of 5,000.00 dollars
on top of the scholarship/grants/loans a qualified student receives
from VU. The scholarship is renewable for four years.
VU is a leader
in East Asian studies among schools of its size. In addition to
its strong academic and overseas studies program in both China
and Japan, VU has recently established Valparaiso University China
Center in Hangzhou. The VU China Center will offer summer sessions
in Hangzhou for VU students; research and internship grants to
students engaged in China-related studies, a one-year program
on Chinese urban culture and literature which features one-on-one
tutoring by established China specialists or Chinese authors/writers.
Students who receive the new Chinese and Japanese Scholarship
will be automatically eligible for considerations for any of these
new opportunities.
