Each year, SCILT and CISS facilitate scholarships for school leavers to study Mandarin for nine months at Tianjin Normal University in China. This year's group of 22 scholars left for China on 3 September and are now exploring their new life and studies in Tianjin.

Our 2026-27 scholars are working in small groups to provide written or video updates each month, documenting their time away. Their updates for September are now available to view on the CISS website, where the scholars share how they are settling in, tours of the campus and what they have been up to so far. Why not share these blogs and vlogs with your learners, and show them where language learning could take them in their future? 

Read or watch September's updates on the CISS website via the link below. And remember applications for the 2027/28 scholarship are open until 31 October 2026.
