Student Opportunities
The UO Chinese Flagship Program offers regular cultural opportunities each term. We also encourage students to become involved in the campus community, particularly in ways that intersect with Chinese language and culture.
Donate to Support Students
We endeavor to support Flagship students on their journey to global professionalism in every way that we can: providing individualized academic support, a welcoming community of mentors and friends, scholarship opportunities, access to an international professional network, and fun activities and events. Study abroad is essential to our mission. Study abroad can be expensive, and while we try hard to get our students maximum financial assistance, 100% funding is not always possible.
Please help us continue to strengthen and improve our student support by donating to our UO Chinese Flagship scholarship fund.
100% of funds donated will be directly allocated to Flagship students to support their study of Chinese in Flagship-approved summer programs or the Capstone program!
