    3/7/2019

    At the Tan Yan Kee Library, summer is just another time and chance to learn the Chinese language, and giving such an opportunity to the next generation is indeed close to Dr. Lucio C. Tan’s heart. Summer Cultural Classes for kids of ages three to 12 ran from May 6 to July 8, 2018 at the Tan Yan Kee Library in San Fernando Tower, Binondo, Manila. On Saturdays and Sundays, a total of 60 students participated in Chinese Literature classes.
    ​

    ​    Different activities like reading and storytelling were conducted to help facilitate their understanding and appreciation of Chinese idioms, traditional Chinese festivals, and Chinese Tang poetries. Presentations in the form of short plays, poetry narrations, and song interpretations were also done as part of the classes. Fun-filled art activities included origami folding, coloring, designing of greeting cards and crafts about traditional Chinese festivities. Because of all these engaging activities, the students learned and improved their Mandarin and Fookien with ease.
     To further let the students enjoy their summer, and also spend time learning and enhancing their talents, a Thanksgiving program with song and dance presentations and narration was dedicated to their parents. The greeting cards the kids made during their classes were highly cherished by their parents as it reflected of their children’s sincere efforts and love.
        To wrap up a summer filled with knowledge, talents, and amity, a closing program was held on July 8, 2018 at the penthouse of the San Fernando Tower where the students did storytelling, reporting, singing, and short play presentations, narrations, and song interpretations. Dr. Lucio C. Tan and Mrs. Carmen K. Tan graced the ceremony as special guests. Ms. Fe Chen-Urdaneta, head of the library personnel, was also present to witness the graduation of the participating students.
        Another fruitful summer for these young children would not be possible if not for the teamwork of library personnel Ms. Florentina Go, Ms. Ellamae Valenzuela, and Ms. Lan Chen Chu with the teachers Mr. Ulysses Yu, Ms. Yee Hoa Lee, and Mr. Lance Pineda.
        Above the fun the students experienced, what the parents valued the most in conclusion of the summer classes are the improvement of the kids’ Chinese language proficiency, understanding of the Chinese values and history, and the cultivation of a positive attitude through the help of lessons they will bring with them as they become responsible citizens of the country.

      UE-TYKFI Scholarship Program

      The Tan Yan Kee Foundation, Inc. and the University of the East established the UE-TYKFI scholarship program in 1998 to provide free quality education to deserving UE undergraduate students and faculty members. Close to 1,000 students, including 12 faculty members and 60 grantees, have benefited from the program. 

      For the past 13 school years, TYKFI has spent no less than PhP68.1 million for the program, covering book allowance, uniform subsidy, transportation allowance and monthly stipend. On the other hand, UE has spent PhP98.7 million for tuition and other school fees. The scholarship is renewable every semester provided that the scholar meets the grade requirement and finishes his/her course within the prescribed period. 

      The scholarship program for regular faculty members covers a book allowance and monthly stipends (including study leave pay, tuition and other school fees) for two consecutive years for a master’s degree or four years for a doctorate degree. Both degrees may be pursued at the UE Graduate School, or in another university if the field of specialization is not offered in UE. 

      The undergraduate scholarships are in selected fields considered relevant to the needs of the Philippines for high-level manpower, namely Engineering and Computer Science/Information Technology, Mathematics and the Sciences, Accountancy and Dentistry, English and Communication Arts. 

      To qualify for a student scholarship, applicants must meet a set of criteria. For further details, please call 735- 5471 local 398, 399 or 735-8577 (UE Manila), 367-4787 or 367-4572 (UE Caloocan) or 816-5520 and -22 (TYKFI).
