Carolinians selected for China Scholarship Program
Two Carolinians were among 34 scholars sent to China for an all-expense-paid one-year study on Chinese language and culture through the China Scholarship Program of the Gokongwei Brothers Foundation.
Atty. Leslie Jeanne Y. Cordero and Joseph Niño K. Augusto were named among the 34 “talented and highly-driven young achievers,” according to the communication released by the Gokongwei Brothers Foundation. Cordero (Ph.B., 2001) and Augusto (B.S.A., 2005) both graduated magna cum laude from the University.
The standards and requirements for the selection of the scholars were rigorous. The screening process alone took six months and involved several phases that enabled the Foundation to identify scholars with exemplary academics, leadership skills, cross-cultural experience, career goals, communication and emotional maturity.
The scholars were sent to the Beijing Language and Culture University to help them understand the economic miracle of China and apply what they learn to the Philippine setting.
