At YCIS Qingdao, we are surrounded by students who inspire us every day —

not only top achievers in the classroom,
but explorers, creators, and collaborators.

Their excellence goes far beyond grades.
It shines through their curiosity about the world, their passion for learning, and their courage to keep growing and challenging themselves.

For the 2026–2027 academic year,
the YCIS Qingdao Scholarship Programme is now open —
in search of the next bright minds ready to shine.

Dr Esther Chan, Deputy Chief Executive Officer (K-12 Education) of YCYW, shared her expectations aboutthe YCYW Scholarship Programme: "We are hoping that with the help of this scholarship programme, we can fulfil the mission and ideals of Yew Chung Yew Wah to a greater extent, and take on the responsibility of cultivating more talents in the next generation who are socially conscious and have critical thinking and leadership skills. As we face the myriad challenges and complex geopolitical developments of the 21st century, we welcome students from diverse backgrounds to join us, and to learn respect and appreciation for other cultures."

"I believe winning the scholarship will support my future goals by being an impetus for me to study more vigorously and achieve my university and career goals. Earning the scholarship is a great honour for me, and I would like to continue pushing myself so that I can reach my dreams even after I graduate from YCIS. Writing essays for the scholarship has also provided me with an opportunity to reflect on my achievements and goals I have had over the years, which helped me organise my thoughts and create a more elaborate plan for my future and aspirations."

At YCIS, our scholarships celebrate more than past achievements — they honour potential, passion, and the courage to grow.

Every application tells a unique story,
and we look forward to seeing your light shine through yours.
