Scholarships available for Amerson Chinese Elite Programme

The Ameson Chinese Elite (ACE) programme is dedicated to providing a cross-cultural experience to top students from China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

Successful applicants will receive a scholarship of $400 to help cover return airfares to Beijing. The cost of meals and accommodation in China is also included in the scholarship.

International summit

During the summit, lectures and discussions will be led by government leaders, elected representatives, and top researchers from leading world universities such as Cambridge University, Oxford University, UC Berkeley, and Harvard University.

Students will also have the opportunity to engage in dialogues with leading Chinese politicians, scientists and social experts, and will have the chance to engage in panel discussions with their Chinese peers. In addition, students will also participate in the world's only Model Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), a special event designed to give students practical experience in simulating the policy-making process in China.

Aside from academic learning and scholarly discussion, international students will benefit from exciting cultural immersion activities including touring top sites in the Beijing area.
