Middle school, high school, and college students across the United States now have a chance to embark on a transformative journey to China in 2025. The Global Cultural Exchange Ambassador – China Tour, scheduled from July 5 to July 19, 2025, invites students of all backgrounds to explore China’s vibrant culture, history, and arts. While a music background is preferred, it is not a requirement, making this opportunity accessible to a wide range of students.
The program, co-organized by the American Society of Musical Excellence and Washington Adventist University, is led by Music Director Anwar Ottley. Selected students will receive the Global Cultural Exchange Ambassador Scholarship, which covers a substantial portion of the program costs, ensuring that financial barriers do not hinder participation.

Beyond music, students will engage in hands-on activities such as calligraphy, traditional Chinese music workshops, and lessons in traditional Chinese medicine.
The program also includes visits to iconic landmarks, including the Terracotta Warriors, Xi’an’s Ancient City Wall, The Bund in Shanghai, and Huangshan, known as China’s most famous mountain. These excursions offer a deeper understanding of China’s rich heritage and natural beauty.
Why This Opportunity Matters
This tour is more than a trip—it’s a chance for students to grow both personally and artistically. By collaborating with international peers, participants will develop cross-cultural communication skills and build lasting friendships.
