In the last decade, mainland Chinese have reshaped the international student body at U.S. colleges and universities, notably at Ivy League institutions. In the 2009-2010 academic year, China surpassed traditional "study abroad" heavyweights like Canada, India and South Korea, to lead international enrollment across U.S. higher education, according to the Institute of International Education. The U.S.-based institute's most recent figures reveal that mainland Chinese students increased 23% to more than 723,000 in the 2010-11 academic year.

China's economic reforms and "opening-up" that began in 1978 under Deng Xiaoping gave rise to the first major generation of students, who were generally reliant on scholarships to study in the United States, according to Chen Shuangye, an assistant professor at the Chinese University of Hong Kong's Department of Educational Administration and Policy.
香港中文大學(xué)教育行政與政策學(xué)系助理教授陳霜葉老師指出，1978年的改革開放政策締造了新一代的學(xué)生，那一代的赴美留學(xué)生主要依靠的是獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金。
Coinciding with China's rapid economic growth, a distinctive second generation emerged in the mid-1990s comprising much more affluent students, Chen said. "There is a great increase in the phenomenon because (mainland Chinese) don't rely on scholarships anymore."
隨著中國(guó)經(jīng)濟(jì)的快速發(fā)展，90年代中葉出現(xiàn)了第二代學(xué)生，他們要比前一代富有得多。陳說：“中國(guó)赴美留學(xué)生的增多主要是因?yàn)?大陸的)學(xué)生不再需要依靠獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金出國(guó)了?！?
