"Poverty is not a disgrace; disgrace lies in poverty without ambition." T.C. Young - "A Chinese View of Life"
The T.C. Young Foundation (杨天全基金会) is a non-profit organization that supports education in Jiang Su, China through student scholarships and teacher awards. It started as the dream of a man born poor in Nancheng in the Jiang Su province. Looking back at his life, TC Young realized that education opened many doors for him.
In partnership with the Nancheng Middle School, the Foundation has awarded annually merit-based and need-based scholarships to high-performing students and Golden Apple Awards to exceptional teachers. Since 1995, the Foundation has paid out over $100,000 USD in awards. In line with the current standard of living in China, the Foundation scholarships range from $150 USD to over $200 USD.
In 2020 the Foundation achieved a significant milestone. The Foundation has awarded continuously for 25 years its student merit scholarships and its Golden Apples awards for teachers at Nancheng Middle School. They were given out on October 28th in a public ceremony at the School. The Foundation also awarded two college scholarships to former graduates of the School. It continued to support Xu Ming Xuan, a second year student at Nanjing University in Chinese Medicine due to her outstanding results as a freshman. Jiale Kong, a first year student at Nanjing Technical University, earned the second college scholarship because of his high score on the entrance exam. Finally the Harris School of Public Policy at the University of Chicago selected Ran Cheng as its first T.C. Young scholar.
2020年，基金会取得了重要的里程碑。 基金会已连续25年为学生颁发奖学金，并为南城中学的老师颁发了金苹果奖。 他们是在10月28日在学校举行的公开仪式上颁发的。 基金会还向学校的前毕业生颁发了两项大学奖学金。 南京大学中医药学院二年级学生徐明轩（音译）由于一年级的优异成绩而继续得到她的支持。 南京工业大学大一学生孔佳乐，因为在入学考试中的高分而获得了第二笔大学奖学金。 最终，芝加哥大学哈里斯公共政策学院选择冉成为第一任TC Young学者。
