Chinese Immersion Programs
Explore your language potential with NESP-approved Domestic and International Summer Immersion Programs. For Domestic Summer Programs, students apply directly to the program, and the Chinese Flagship then coordinates with the program. To participate in an International Summer Program, students have a two-step process: apply to the program, and then submit their study abroad application directly to WKU Global. You can find a complete list of all Flagship-approved international programs here to start planning your global experience today.
Flagship students are eligible to apply for substantial Flagship student support: up to $5,000 USD for Domestic programs and up to $10,000 USD for International programs. To qualify, you must be in good standing with the Chinese Flagship program and meet minimum proficiency levels: Novice-High for Domestic programs and Intermediate-Mid for International programs. Please note a key change: effective Fall 2025, Flagship Capstone funding will be offered only through Boren-Flagship or ROTC scholarships.
Funding decisions are based on a combination of merit and the availability of funds. We strongly encourage all students to proactively apply for university and external scholarships to cover all program-related expenses. For dedicated assistance with the scholarship application process and to maximize your financial options, please schedule time to work with the expert staff in the Office of Scholar Development.
