HOW TO APPLY CHINESE GOVERNMENT SCHOLARSHIPS ＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿
ⅠA Brief Introduction of Chinese
Government Scholarship Programmes
In order to strengthen mutual understanding and friendship between the Chinese people and people from the
rest of the world, and to enhance cooperation and exchanges in the fields of education, science & technology, culture,
economics and trade between China and other countries, the Chinese government has set up a series of scholarship schemes to
sponsor international students and scholars to undertake studies and research in Chinese institutions of higher education.
The Ministry of Education of P. R. China (MOE) is responsible for the provision of Chinese government scholarships,
and entrusts China Scholarship Council (CSC) to administer the recruitment of international students and the routine management
of Chinese Government Scholarship Programmes.
International students under Chinese Government Scholarship Programmes will be placed in 94 Chinese institutions
of higher education designated by the MOE. There are over 300 subjects in sciences, technology, agronomy, medicine, economics,
law, management, education, history, liberal arts and philosophy available for international students in these institutions.
We welcome outstanding students, scholars and teachers from all over the world to come to study or undertake
research in institutions of higher education in China.
THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAMMES AND APPLICATIONS
1. The Chinese Government Scholarship Scheme
Established by the
MOE in accordance with educational exchange agreements or MOUs reached by the Chinese government and governments of other
countries or international organizations, it provides both full and partial scholarships for international students and scholars.
The scheme supports students to study in China as undergraduates, postgraduates, Chinese language students, visiting scholars
and senior visiting scholars. Applicants may apply for scholarship through education authorities, designated institutions
or Chinese diplomatic missions in their home countries..... continues ---[ see this ] ...

Here on this part of the web page I will be placing more additional logos and text links from those groups whose function
is to assist Interantional Students / Scholars. Down below, I will likewise adding those OnLine social and cultural
programs I am spinning off and creating from my from my Night LIfe ( NightLife ), RMC Online Internet Network base.
I am also looking for news press releases.
So if you have an item of Dance, Theatre, Social, Cultural, Crafts, Food, Performance, Scientific Discovery, or
items which deals with the scope of this International Students / Scholars OnLine program, including the Academia ~ International
Students / Scholars ~ News ~ interests please email me - see the following.........
The InterCultural Communications aspect of this site, as well as all the others websites in this cross-webbing process
[ as per the footers below ] is when you take your [ the International Students / Scholars who are reading this ] home
country experiences and compare them with both the various cultural insights [ suich as the blogs on the right hand side bars
] of Americana, and the included Activities Resources and see what are the unique differences. This prepares you immediately
to understand the operating functional scope of InterCutlrual Communications - by such initial social and cultural comparisons;
the personal experience of seeing differences.
It is these unique difference with which you have to offer your fellow American Students / Scholars. The methods
in which you employ are the various forms of InterCutlrual Communications. Thus a traditional form of national dance
and its various stylings are just as significant idenity realities as lets say a seminar on your national water resources.
Both gives a more complete of not only the quality of your national character, but even more important the key factors in
its character.
Thus InterCultural Communications are employed by:
One: Performance.
Two: Employment of the various media.
Three: Course Work.
Four: Food.
Five: Seminars.
Six: Fashions.
Seven: Smells.
Eight: Physical and Sexual Interactions.
Nine: The idea of a personal faith - religious or secular.
Ten: The perception of both human knowledge and science.
It is not the substance which should be the determined factor, but the mode of both personal pride, tempered with the
adult posture of humility, which all of us have, and the willingness to share what is in fact the uniqueness of who
you actually are; the national character of your own nation. It is not the seeking difference which is the end,
but the full psychic impact of the resulting self-discovery processes which emotionally and intellegently is likewise created
within both the observers and participants of InterCultrual Communications.

Princeton Seminary Receives New Scholarship Endowment
Princeton Theological Seminary has established the Reverend Iu Su-iong Scholarship Endowment Fund, with a gift given by
Iu’s son, Alexander K. Young, a 1954 M.Div. and 1961 Th.D. graduate of the Seminary. The scholarship assists an M.A.T.S.,
Th.M., or Ph.D. student or visiting scholar, with preference given to those producing scholarly work on the influence of Taiwanese
church history. The endowment represents the Reverend Iu’s long dedication and contributions as a professor of church
history at Tainan Theological Seminary in Taiwan, moderator of the Presbyterian Church General Assembly in Taiwan, well-known
author, and beloved pastor.
The scholarship also represents the relationship between Princeton Seminary and the Presbyterian Church in Taiwan, and
the family’s deep appreciation for the Seminary. Iu was a visiting scholar at the Seminary in 1954, and Young served
as an instructor in Christian ethics under President John A. Mackay, and then went on to earn a Ph.D. at Columbia University,
where he taught in the School of International Affairs and in the Department of Asian Languages and Culture. He is professor
of international relations emeritus at the State University of New York, and was appointed national policy advisor to the
president of Taiwan in 2001. He is the author of many articles on global corporations, on Japanese foreign policy, and on
Taiwan’s relations with China, Japan, and the United States. In recognition of Young’s writings, the emperor and
prime minister of Japan awarded him the Kun Santo Zuihosho, Japan’s Order of the Sacred Treasure, in 1992, one of the
highest honors that can be bestowed upon a non-citizen.
Young sees the endowment as “an expression of gratitude to God and to PTS. If the scholarship could help promote
interest in studying the church history of Taiwan, we couldn’t be happier,” he said.
Princeton Theological Seminary was founded in 1812 as the first seminary established by the General Assembly of the Presbyterian
Church. It is the largest Presbyterian seminary in the country, with more than 700 students in seven graduate degree programs.

Arab Culture Magazine & British Lord in Surprise Veil Debate Win at Doha Debates
|
| Press release from: SharqMagazine.com |
Published date: 03-07-2007 19:14 PM - CET - Arts & Culture
|
|
|
(openPR) - Reem Maghribi, editor of Arab culture & lifestyle magazine SharqMagazine.com,
and Lord Nazir Ahmed, Britain’s first Muslim peer, joined forces to win a debate in which they argued for the motion
that the face veil hinders integration in the West.
The debate, to be aired on BBC World on 10 and 11 March, was conducted
by the Doha Debates, a member of the Qatar Foundation, and was attended by Her Highness Sheikha Mozah, first lady of Qatar,
nobel prize winner Ahmed Zewail and Mona Makram-Ebeid, former member of the Egyptian parliament, among other prominent figures.
Internationally
renowned broadcaster, Tim Sebastian, formerly of BBC World’s HARDtalk programme chaired the debate. The audience, which
included a large number of Qatari students, spent much of the one hour debate questioning Ms Maghribi & Lord Ahmed about
the meaning of integration and the human rights of the individual. As testament to both the clarity of their arguments and
the conviction in which they were delivered, the evening ended with 56.7% of the audience voting in favour of the motion that
the face veil is a barrier to integration in the West.
Ms Maghribi argued that “it is the Muslim community’s
responsibility to encourage dialogue with the West” and that “wearing a face veil makes Muslims appear as ‘the
other’, encouraging people’s fear and alienation of Muslims.”
Lord Ahmed agreed saying "the niqab
creates separation between Muslims and their host society. Islam is a religion of moderation and not extremism that encourages
engagement and not separation."
