About the Scholarship Program

In 2005, C-100 established the Leadership Scholarship Awards Program (LSAP) with the aim of assisting high-achieving Chinese students in reaching their greatest potential.  The program is designed to cultivate China's next generation of leaders and to further the Committee's relationship with top Chinese universities.  To date, the program has awarded over 100 scholarships to deserving graduate students.
