SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The U.S. Electronic Education Fairs for 
China and India are part of a joint initiative between the U.S. 
Department of Commerce and the U.S. Department of State. The purpose of 
the initiative is to inform Chinese and Indian students who are 
interested in studying outside of their home countries about the 
breadth and depth of the higher education opportunities available in 
the United States. The initiative utilizes a three-pronged multimedia 
approach through the Internet, on-ground activities, and television, 
including two, twenty-three minute TV programs and a series of short, 
1-2 minute programs airing on local cable and national satellite TV 
stations throughout China and India. All programming directs viewers to 
the corresponding Internet landing page. DVDs distributed through 
education trade fairs and EducationUSA advising centers throughout 
China and India will further this message.
    Accredited U.S. educational institutions are invited to sponsor the 
China and India Internet landing pages. Sponsorships for China OR India 
will be available in Gold and Silver categories. Institutions that 
purchase Gold Sponsorship, priced at $8,000, will receive a banner-
sized ad with their school's logo and name which will link to their 
institution's Web site. Institutions that purchase Silver Sponsorship, 
priced at $3,000, will have their name listed on the site with a link 
to their institution's Web site. If an institution would like to 
sponsor and purchase space on both the China and India Internet landing 
pages, they will receive a 50 percent discount for the second 
sponsorship, for a total of $12,000 for Gold and $4,500 for Silver.
    Applications by qualifying institutions will be selected on a 
rolling basis, capacity permitting.
