EMPOWERING FUTURE LEADERS IN THE CHINESE CANADIAN COMMUNITY
We support access to education, celebrate cultural identity, and foster leadership.
About Us
The Chinese-Canadian Scholarship Foundation is a registered non-profit organization (Registration No. 744248211RR0001) dedicated to advancing equity in education and building the next generation of Chinese-Canadian leaders.
Founded on the belief that access to higher education should never be limited by financial barriers or systemic inequities. Inspired by the experiences of Chinese-Canadians across generations, our organization works to ensure that students can pursue their academic and leadership potential with the resources to excel.
Through partnerships with Canadian universities, we fund and establish scholarships for Chinese-Canadian post-secondary students. We also aim to foster a sense of community, mentorship, and cultural pride amongst the recipients and alumni.
Our Mission & Focus
To increase equity and access to higher education for Chinese-Canadian students, and to support their development into leaders and changemakers.
To achieve this, we focus on three key areas:
Scholarship & Access
We fund scholarships to remove financial barriers and promote leadership and engagement in the community.
Representation & Leadership
We encourage students to pursue leadership roles, helping to close the representation gap in all sectors.
Community & Cultural Identity
We foster a sense of belonging and pride in Chinese heritage, while building bridges to the broader Canadian society.
Our Scholarships
We partner with Canadian universities to fund scholarships for students who demonstrate leadership, academic excellence, and a commitment to the community. By supporting them at pivotal points in their journey, we seek to empower the next generation of Chinese-Canadian changemakers.
Reduce Financial Barriers

Empower Students

Meaningful giving is personal. We offer donors the opportunity to create custom scholarships that reflect your values, vision, and priorities—whether you want to honour a loved one, support students from a particular region, or champion leadership in a specific field.
We work closely with donors to:
- Establish named scholarships that carry your legacy.
- Tailor eligibility criteria to your goals.
- Connect with partner universities for administration.
- Ensure ongoing alignment and impact.
"Every scholarship begins with a conversation. Let’s build something meaningful together."
