Congratulations! You are now one step closer to helping us promote peaceful U.S.-China relations by furthering mutual understanding, friendship, and trust through international student interchange. Please read the following information carefully before submitting the application.

The first ChASC Executive Committee and International Student Conferences, Inc. are currently seeking a diverse delegation of full-time undergraduate and graduate students regardless of experience or language ability (all official programming will be conducted in English) to participate in 2-week summer Conference.

Part 1 of the application will ask for applicant information and Part 2 will ask for a resume, a transcript, and four short-essay responses (~400 words each). You may also submit an additional statement (optional) and contact information for a recommender (optional).

Preference will be given to applications submitted before the priority deadline at 11:59 pm ET on February 29, 2020. An application submitted before this time will also have the $10 application fee waived. Any application received after this time will be considered only after receipt of the $10 application fee to the ISC PayPal Giving Fund.

All applications will be considered until 36 delegates have been confirmed or until 11:59 pm ET on April 1, 2020 (whichever occurs first).

You will be notified by email of your acceptance approximately two weeks after the priority deadline or two weeks after the receipt of your application (whichever occurs later).
