Support Us

Whether you choose to support our students, faculty or the community, your gift is creating its ripple effect—ever-expanding waves of impact stretching far beyond our individual reach. Our Institutional Advancement Office (IAO) creates opportunities for the community to connect in meaningful and supportive ways.

The “Seeds of Hope” Annual Fund is run by the Institutional Advancement Office. The programme aims to obtain gifts annually to strengthen and enrich students’ learning experience at YCIS and meet the school’s emergent situations and immediate needs. In addition, such resources will help provide an elevated education experience by funding other programmes not covered by tuition fees. The Annual Fund allows students and staff to go beyond the array of programmes covered in our standard curriculum. Both students and staff can apply for these grants.

The Fund supports initiatives that fall into the following key areas:

1. Curriculum Enrichment
   Additional programmes and initiatives which support real-world problem-solving and level up student’s learning experience
    
2. Service Learning
   Programmes that engage students in meaningful experiences and contribute to creating an impact on the community
    
3. Scholarship
   Recognition that acknowledges the highest level of academic achievement, leadership, and service.
    
4. Unrestricted Gifts
   Resources that allow the school to address its most pressing and important opportunities

The "Seeds of Hope" Annual Fund is associated with the Shanghai Education Development Foundation. Your donation will be transferred to the bank account designated by the Shanghai Education Development Foundation.

The YCIS Shanghai Scholarship Programme is the first fundraising programme that our community supported. It is a merit-based award that acknowledges the highest academic achievement, leadership, and service levels. It targets highly motivated and talented students who benefit from bilingual international education with a creative approach.

The Scholarship programme includes the Madam Tsang Chor-hang Memorial Scholarship (Overall Achievement Award), Subject & Talent Award and Yew Chung IGCSE/IB Award. A Yew Chung Scholar is committed to pursuing excellence and honouring the vision and values of the school. The candidate will show a high commitment to campus life with demonstrable leadership and mentoring skills.

We host several annual events to bring together the YCIS community in meaningful ways.
