Hanban provides a grant for the establishment of the Confucius Institute at Northwest Nazarene University

Project narrative

In April 2015, the Confucius Institute Headquarters (Hanban) and the Northwest Nazarene University signed an agreement to establish the Confucius Institute at Northwest Nazarene University. As part of the agreement, Hanban is obligated to provide teaching materials, an annual fund, and numbers of Chinese instructors. The funds are dispersed through a local Bank of China account or other approved bank account created by the institute. The agreement has a 5-year validity and automatically renews at the end of every 5-year term. In 2015, Northwest Nazarene University and Northwest University (西北大学), the cooperating partner, signed a supplementary implementation agreement. Northwest University agreed to provide one or two visiting scholars annually, donate teaching materials, and receive student study groups. The Confucius Institute was officially established in November 2015. This Confucius Institute was previously a Confucius Classroom.
