Golden Autumn Scholarship - Heartfelt Support for Dream Fulfillment

On the morning of August 26, 2023, at 9:00 AM, the Golden Autumn Scholarship Award Ceremony, held by the Fuqing City Volunteer Association for Education and Assistance for the Disabled, took place at the association’s meeting hall. This annual event, now in its eighth year, distributed 30,000 RMB in scholarships (5,000 RMB per student) to six prospective college students。

The purpose of the event is to assist students who have been admitted to university this year, to offer hope to struggling students, and to help them spread their wings to pursue their dreams. Through their own efforts, they can become outstanding talents for the nation。

At the ceremony, former president Chen Guanchun and philanthropist Mr. Weng Chenglong (Japan-China Fuzhou Chamber of Commerce) delivered speeches and congratulated the six students on behalf of the association. The students expressed their deep gratitude during the ceremony and pledged to study hard, with the goal of becoming useful members of society, spreading kindness, and contributing to the creation of a better, happier, and more loving society。

The event also featured a brief welcome ceremony for several new young volunteers who joined the association. Additionally, the association honored two dedicated volunteers, Lin Geng (advisor) and Lin Jinxia (supervisor), who have served for ten years。

The association’s educational support activities have lasted for ten years, and the Golden Autumn Scholarship has been awarded for eight years, helping numerous struggling families. Through the efforts of these students, many have moved toward a brighter future. Let’s continue to work together to make these educational support efforts reach even farther。
