Friends & Donors

We ask your support for the Center for Chinese Studies endowments. Your gifts will serve as an essential component in accomplishing our center objectives and ensure:

  • Increased financial assistance for our Masters Degree students;
  • Research funds for our doctoral students and faculty associates;
  • Development of innovative study abroad opportunities for our students in China;
  • Sustaining valuable programming that continues to promote the study of China in all disciplines at the University of Michigan.

Since 1961, CCS has built country-specific endowments to support faculty and student research and travel, visiting lecturers, and most recently an innovative team-taught interdisciplinary seminar in Chinese Studies. Our newly created Summer Program in Beijing further enhances our graduate student academic experience by providing advanced training to students from both UM and Peking University in the theories and methods of China studies, and has served as a source of intensified interest throughout other schools and programs at the University of Michigan in establishing academic programs in China. The recently established UM-Peking University Joint Institute provides essential support these programs while facilitating UM faculty research, collaborative projects and teaching opportunities in Beijing.

We hope that you will contribute generously to our effort to build the Center's financial security by sending your gift or pledge today. Please return this form with your check to CCS or contact us directly at 734-764-6038.
