CCA 8th grader, Katelyn Wu, is one of only 20 students accepted into The University of Iowa STARTALK Chinese Learning Program. The program, funded by a National Security Agency Grant, is specially designed for Iowa junior high and high school students who wish to learn Chinese. The grant funding is to promote critical language education, and will provide Katelyn a scholarship of approximately $6,800 to cover all learning costs. After successful completion of the program, she will earn 11 University of Iowa credits.
