Please give details about your previous engagement with Mandarin Chinese language study and Chinese culture. Please include both formal (i.e. classroom learning and levels, Sewanee Chinese camps, other camps) and less formal (e.g. Chinese club member, previously visited China, etc.) experiences.
Why do you want to study Chinese and what are your goals in increasing your language proficiency through this program?
If you are interested in applying for a scholarship, please share more information here about your goals for this camp and what makes you a compelling candidate for funding.
Please have one teacher at your school write a letter of recommendation. Ideally, that recommender can speak to your ability to study complex languages independently and your cultural curiosity. As well as your general performance as a student and community member.
Below, you will be asked to provide us with some general information about your recommender: name, school title, teacher, home number, and email address.
Once your application is officially submitted, your recommender will receive an email with a link to the Sewanee Chinese Language Camp Recommendation Page.
It is your responsibility to confirm your teacher or counselor received the recommendation form via email. If they cannot find the email, please have them check their junk or spam mailbox. The email will have the following subject line: Sewanee Chinese Language Camp Recommendation. We prefer they use the recommendation email because it will link them directly to your application.
