Hey there! Anyone know of scholarships for students who want to study Mandarin in college? I'm really interested in the language and hoping to find some funding opportunities to support my studies.
Hey there! If you're specifically interested in studying in Taiwan, you might want to consider the Hsiao Memorial Social Sciences Scholarship. Though this scholarship isn't exclusive to Mandarin learners, preference is given to students focusing on sociology and East Asian studies.
Another notable scholarship is the Boren Awards, especially if you're interested in national security. This program offers up to $25,000 annually for undergraduate students to study abroad in countries that are typically under-represented in study abroad programs, including China and other Mandarin-speaking regions.
Remember that language study and international study awards can often be used to support the study of Mandarin. Make sure to also check with your university's financial aid office or international studies department for school-specific scholarships that support language studies.
Remember that each of these scholarships has its own set of eligibility requirements, so you'll want to thoroughly research each one to ensure it's a good fit for you.
