nath Posted May 19, 2013 at 01:13 PM Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 at 01:13 PM Hey all, I've recently made the decision to learning Chinese for learning months from September 2013. I'm currently a teacher in Guangxi, and have managed to study a fair bit over the last seven months. Still however, I'm still very limited in my vocabulary, and as someone who wants to use Mandarin within journalism, I need to get up to speed. I know I'm too late for the big CSC scheme, but my question is this. Is there any way I can get a scholarship for one semester? My friend directed me to a website- CUCAS- and it seems Hubei Normal University is still offering a scholarship? Otherwise, what is the best option for me to cram as much into 5 months as possible? I'm not worried about where I go...as long as there is a heater somewhere in the property! I am not completely skint, but am also not loaded... Thanks, Nathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shuoshuo Posted May 26, 2013 at 04:00 PM Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 at 04:00 PM Nathan, Applications for both CIS and CSC are closed. So your best chance is to find out if there are universities or language institutions willing to exchange this for that: you spend a few hours a week teaching English and in exchange, you get to attend Chinese classes. As far as I know, there aren't many universities willing to offer scholarships to prospective students. They only offer semester scholarships to current students who excel. When I was in Shanghai, there were a good number of Chinese who offered full boarding on studio apartments in exchange for a few hours of English lessons on the weekends. You might want to try these if you're seeking a bit of an 'adventure'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
