We are delighted to announce the launch of the YCYW Scholarship Programme for the 2026-2027 academic year. Our scholarship programme rewards students for their achievements and recognises their motivation to succeed.

"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."

Comprehensive recognition and multidimensional rewards:

The scholarship programme not only focuses on the academic achievements of students, but also values their outstanding performance in leadership and community service, as well as their professional talents in fields such as music, sports, and science and technology.

High-value scholarships to support dreams: 

The amounts of these scholarships cover 15% to 100% of tuition fees, thereby providing strong financial support for outstanding students and enabling them to focus more on their studies and personal growth.

Transparent, fair, and rigorous selection:

The scholarship programme has a nomination-based application process, combined with dual evaluation standards of necessary and ideal qualities. This ensures that each applicant's strengths can be fully demonstrated.
