Hanban provides a grant for the establishment of the Confucius Institute at New Jersey City University

Project narrative

On June 1, 2015, the Confucius Institute Headquarters (Hanban) and the New Jersey City University signed an agreement to establish the Confucius Institute at New Jersey City 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, New Jersey City University and Jilin International Studies University (吉林华桥外国语学院), the cooperating partner, signed a supplementary implementation agreement. Jilin International Studies 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 November 2, 2015. The Confucius Institute closed in 2021.
