*The MOE 2020 Huayu Enrichment Scholarship application deadline has been extended to April 15, 2020.
In light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the mandatory shutdowns imposed in many states, we are aware that many students are experiencing difficulties in preparing all of the required scholarship application materials at this time. To provide students with ample time to complete their applications, we are extending the HES application deadline from the original March 31, 2020 until April 15, 2020. All applications mailed to our office postmarked by April 15, 2020 will be considered for the scholarship.
