YEF has recently set up a scholarship scheme to help children from peasant households who have been offered places in an upper high school. This serves to fill the gap between the nine-year free education and university education.  Every scholarship will cover a high school student’s tuition and miscellaneous fees for 3 years.  The student will write to the sponsor to report on his study progress.  YEF will arrange for the sponsored students a pleasure trip to Lanzhou, the provincial capital of Gansu, when schools resume next September. Sponsors will be invited to join the trip.  These activities aim to increase the students’ exposure to the outside world and to widen their scope.  YEF will follow up on individual special cases with a view to helping the whole family to improve their livelihood.  If you are interested in becoming a sponsor, please download the application form at https://www.yef.org.hk/yeforghk_form_eng.pdf .
