Dear OYCF Members and Friends:

The Overseas Young Chinese Forum ("OYCF"), a non-profit organization based
in the United States, is pleased to announce that it is now accepting
applications for its Teaching Fellowships, which sponsor short term teaching
trips by overseas scholars or professionals to universities or other
comparable advanced educational institutions in China. The subjects of
teaching include various fields of humanities and social sciences,
specifically, economics, political science, sociology, education,
anthropology, philosophy and history.

OYCF will grant 8 fellowship awards, including 5 OYCF-Ford fellowships in
the amount of $2,250 each and 3 OYCF-Gregory Chow fellowships in the amount
of $2,000 each, to support short term teaching trips during the academic
year of 2004-2005. The application deadline is July 31, 2004. Awards will be
announced on August 31, 2004.  Additional fellowships may be available
depending on funding.

If you have a Ph.D., J.D., S.J.D. or a comparable graduate degree from, or
is currently an advanced doctoral candidate in, a university in North
America or other areas outside of China, and are interested in teaching a
covered subject in a Chinese college or graduate school, please find on line
the Information and Application Procedures for the OYCF Teaching Fellowships
at http://www.oycf.org/Teach/application.DOC.  As noted therein, preference
will be given to teaching proposals that include comparative or
interdisciplinary perspectives are about subjects that China is in relative
shortage of teachers, or will be conducted at universities outside Beijing,
Shanghai and other major metropolises.

This year, we intend to dedicate one of the eight fellowships as the West
Region Teaching Fellowship to have one teaching fellow teach in a western
inland province or autonomous region such as the Tibet Autonomous Region.
Accordingly, teaching proposals especially designed for teaching in Tibet or
other western regions will be given preference for this fellowship.  Initial
feedback from Tibet University at Lhasa suggests that applicants intending
to teach in Tibet should consider adopting teaching materials in Chinese or
more basic English teaching materials as a practical matter.

To submit your application, you will need an application form, your
curriculum vitae or resume, a detailed course syllabus, information about
the host institution in China except for Tibet University, and a reference.
Information and application form can be found at the above web address.  You
can visit http://www.oycf.org/Teach/fellowship.htm to take a look at syllabi
and teaching reports from previous years.

their application process, please contact teaching at oycf.org.
