Student Programs
Yale-China offers a variety of outstanding opportunities for Yale College students to learn about contemporary China, including the Yale-China Service Internship Program, which places students in summer service positions in fields including non-profit management, youth services, HIV/AIDS care and education, and public policy research. Yale-China's cultural exchange programs for Yale students imbue participants with global perspectives and skills not easily attained in the classroom. Through these programs, students form close relationships with Chinese colleagues that often continue into the next chapters of their academic and professional lives.
In addition to our programs for Yale students, Yale-China has scholarship programs for disadvantaged Chinese students at several institutions of higher learning in China. These include New Asia College of The Chinese University of Hong Kong, where Yale-China has provided scholarships for almost five decades; Xiangya School of Medicine in Changsha, where Yale-China scholarships have been awarded to hundreds of students of medicine, nursing, and public health since 2003; other departments of Central South University, Xiangya's parent institution, to which the program expanded in 2006; and Hunan University, where a Yale-China scholarship program was also introduced in 2006.
Yale-China's programs for Yale students in recent years have been made possible with the generous support of the Pao-Watari Fund for East Asian Studies, the Council on East Asian Studies at Yale University, and the members of the Yale-China Association, along with substantial in-kind support from our Chinese program partners. The Yale-China Scholarship Program is made possible with the generous support of an anonymous donor, the Chung Kin Kwok Education Foundation, Matt and Alice Easter, and the members of the Yale-China Association.
