Chinese Government Scholarships (2001-2002) for CSUN Students:

The China Institute selected and recommended two CSUN students to the Chinese Government Scholarship Council via the Chinese Consulate General in Los Angeles for the 2001-2002 Academic Year Awards.  The competition was sharp among Southern Californian institutions of higher learning.  With the support of CSUN university administration and the guidance from the Chinese Consulate General in L.A., both of our two candidates received the prestigious awards—full Chinese government scholarships covering tuition and living expenses for study in China in the 2001-2002 academic year. 

·        The first award winner, James Lo, is a graduate student in the Department of Radio/TV/Film and he plans to study as a visiting student in the Beijing Film Academy, following the footsteps of CSUN’s first scholarship student there, Angus McNellis, who is successfully completing his studies and film projects in Beijing.

·        The second scholarship winner is Oliver May, who is a senior student from CSUN’s Department of Music.  He will study Chinese language and culture, as well as traditional and modern Chinese music, at our sister university, Nanjing Normal University.  Oliver visited China two years ago with CSUN’s Jazz Ensemble and he has been fascinated with China ever since.  He has been learning Chinese language on campus and has served as an English tutor for the visiting Chinese scholars at CSUN.
