The Alliance is currently accepting applications for a special scholarship to be applied to the spring 2012 semester of the Globalization Then and Now: Xi’an and the Silk Road program or the Public Health and Indian Studies program at Manipal University. The $7,000 merit and need-based scholarship is open to all spring 2012 applicants to Xi’an or Manipal who demonstrate outstanding potential and a vested interest in the specific coursework and experiential components of the program.
Globalization Then and Now: Xi’an and the Silk Road
The Globalization Then and Now: Xi’an and the Silk Road program is a palpable sampling of China’s essence – old and new. It focuses on the confluence of arts, cultures and commerce during the periods in the world’s history when China (and Xi’an in particular) was by many accounts the most advanced and sophisticated spot on the globe. This program offers students a curriculum of Chinese language and English-taught courses in several disciplines including Chinese history, literature, contemporary culture, art and anthropology. Students may enroll for a semester, summer, or academic year, or a combination of a semester and summer term. Students are encouraged to consider spending their second term in China in a different Alliance program to deepen their knowledge of China’s regional diversity.
Public Health and Indian Studies program
The Alliance Public Health and Indian Studies program is based at Manipal University, a premier private university known throughout India and around the world for its strong medical college and health science programs. With over 18,000 graduate and undergraduate students, including 3,500 students from countries in the Middle East, Europe, Australia and other parts of Asia, Manipal’s world-class faculty bring a dynamic approach to the classroom.
