    Do you want to showcase your talents at an international school? Do you hope to receive more encouragement to support your studies and to develop leadership skills? The Yew Chung Yew Wah Education Network (YCYW) provides strong support for your dreams. We have now officially launched the YCYW Scholarship Programme for the 2025-2026 academic year!

     

    Purpose for Establishing the Scholarships

     

    YCYW annually awards scholarships to current and prospective students in recognition of their outstanding performance in academic achievements, leadership, and service to society. These scholarships support highly motivated and talented students from around the world, thereby enabling them to benefit from our bilingual and holistic international education. We expect scholarship recipients to strive for excellence, actively participate in campus life, lead by example, and contribute to society in accordance with YCYW's vision and values.

     

    “We hope that through this new scholarship programme, we can fulfil the educational mission and ideals that YCYW has advocated for more than 90 years. We assume responsibility for nurturing the next generation of talents to be socially conscious and to develop critical thinking and leadership skills. As we face the myriad challenges and complex international issues of the 21st century, we welcome students of different backgrounds from around the world to join us and learn respect and appreciation for other cultures.”

     

    —Dr Esther Chan, Deputy Chief Executive Officer (K-12 Education)
