 Zhonghua Scholarship is established by Cross Culture
 Education Center of Washington (WCCEC) in cooperation with
 educational institutions in China. It is dedicated to
 English speakers who are interested in Chinese language and
 culture and wish to see China with their own eyes, providing
 them with the opportunity to live in China, study in China
 and have a cultural tour (depending on the program) of
 China. As part of the cultural exchange, recipients are
 required to conduct some ESL classes for K-12 students, the
 total time of which is limited to 15 hours per week. For
