Undergraduate Programs - Scholarships

Please note all sources are available ONLY for currently enrolled students at the University of Iowa.

Cheng/Liu Scholarship:

The Cheng/Liu Scholarship (Summer) may be used either in the United States or abroad but will be awarded only for recognized summer Chinese language programs. The proposed summer course must provide the equivalent of a full academic year of Chinese language study. The award of up to $1000 is based on merit rather than on need. Both graduate and undergraduate students currently majoring in Chinese in the Department of Asian Languages and Literature at the University of Iowa may apply, but preference will be given to students who demonstrate (1) aptitude and achievement in previous work in Chinese language, and (2) serious commitment to incorporating Chinese language in future study and career goals. Consideration will be limited to students who intend to return to the University of Iowa for further Chinese language study.

Applicants must submit the following to the selection committee by the deadline (usually near the beginning of April, contact the Department office for specific date).

  • Completed application form
  • Statement of purpose
  • Two letter of recommendation - one must be from a Chinese language instructor. Letters should be sent directly to the selection committee
  • Evidence of your intent to study during the Summer - a copy of your application to or acceptance by one or more summer language programs.
  • A description of how the total cost of the summer study will be funded.
