China Exchange Bursary*

In order to encourage student exchanges between the University of Victoria and East China Normal University, a bursary will be awarded to a student from the University of Victoria attending the East China Normal University, or to a student from the East China Normal University attending the University of Victoria. Should unforeseen circumstances arise whereby no exchange is possible in a given year, the bursary may be awarded to a University of Victoria student who is enrolled in a program within the Department of Pacific and Asian Studies and who has demonstrated financial need, reasonable academic standing and an interest in the study of China.
