Established in the U.S. in 1994, the Ameson Education and Cultural Exchange Foundation is a non-profit, non-governmental organization committed to the promotion and implementation of programs that facilitate cultural exchange and educational cooperation throughout the world.
Ameson is currently seeking UK student applications for its 2015 Ameson Chinese Elite (ACE) program.
The Ameson Chinese Elite (ACE) program is dedicated to providing a cross-cultural experience to top students from China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The program brings together both international and Chinese students for an annual conference in Beijing.
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.
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.
Asides from academic learning and scholarly discussion, international students will benefit from exciting cultural immersion activities including touring top sites in the Beijing area.
