Each year Sidwell Friends School sends up to two Chinese Studies alumni to Beijing Normal University for a year of language study. The fellowship provides for tuition, room and board, and a stipend. Either during the year or upon their return, Fellows share their experiences with the Sidwell community. This unique program offers Sidwell Friends graduates a significant opportunity to improve their Chinese and experience Chinese culture firsthand.
The deadline for applications for the 2010-2011 Fellowship is December 7, 2009. In order to meet this earlier deadline, applications, unnofficial transcripts, and letters of reference may be directly emailed to flowerj@sidwell.edu The application in Word format can be downloaded from "useful links" on this page.
