On April 2nd, Ctrip Group and the Michigan College of Shanghai Jiao Tong University jointly announced the establishment of the "Navigation Scholarship" to further encourage American university students to study and exchange in China, promote friendly exchanges between Chinese and American youth, and enhance mutual understanding between the Chinese and American people.
"I hope that Ctrip's scholarship program can help more American students come to China for learning and exchange, and contribute to the friendship between China and the United States. Ctrip will also continue to leverage its global brand and resource advantages to promote the development of inbound tourism, tell the story of China well, and showcase China's image," said Sun Jie, CEO of Ctrip Group.
"The future of international relations lies in youth, and education is a key that touches people's hearts. I believe that students who benefit from the program will also grow into a link for Sino US civil exchanges," said Chen Qianbin, Dean of the Michigan College at Shanghai Jiao Tong University.
As a one-stop tourism service provider based in China and facing the world, Ctrip has actively participated in cultural exchanges with foreign countries and continues to help promote the image of national inbound tourism. This scholarship, jointly established with the Michigan College of Shanghai Jiao Tong University, will promote youth exchanges between China and the United States.
