The Fulbright-Hays Seminars Abroad program sends American educators to China for four weeks every summer. This program, which has been administered by the National Committee since 1981, provides educators with the opportunity to gain valuable insight into a culture that is increasingly becoming an important element in American curricula.

Comprised of 20 young American China scholars, the Public Intellectuals Program expands and deepens the scholars' knowledge of aspects of China beyond their own specialties and encourages their active engagement as public intellectuals both within and beyond their professional and geographic communities.
