Series V: Student and Scholarship Services, 1930s-1950s

For decades in the twentieth century, China Institute continued to administer scholarships and provide services to Chinese students. Files detailing this aspect of the Institute's work are gathered under Series V. Sub-Series V.1 gathers correspondence and application files of the Tsing Hua University Fellowships, whose establishment was first in communication in 1933, following when the National Tsing Hua University of China delegated the work of the Chinese Educational Mission to the US to China Institute. In the next two decades, China Institute welcomed applications from dozens of Tsing Hua students and professors to study in the United States. Sub-Series V.2 includes correspondence and application files for the C. T. Loo Chinese Education Fund and the Frank M. Shu Scientific Fellowship that took place throughout the 1950s. Sub-Series V.3 consists of files resulting from other scholarships and services such as the Office of Educational Fund, Gustavus and Louise Pfeiffer Research Foundation, China International Foundation. Notably, China Institute had also offered employment placement services to students, connecting them with opportunities for practical training.
