Hanban provides a grant for the establishment of the Confucius Institute at Savannah State University

Project narrative

On April 9, 2010, the Confucius Institute Headquarters (Hanban) and the Savannah State University signed an agreement to establish the Confucius Institute at Savannah State 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 2010, Savannah State University and Jiujiang University (九江学院), the cooperating partner, signed a supplementary implementation agreement. Jiujiang University agreed to provide one or two visiting scholars annually, donate teaching materials, and receive student study groups. The Confucius Institute was officially established on April 29, 2014. The Confucius Institute closed in July 2020.
