    Every Saturday and Sunday from May 11 to July 7, 2019, 52 young children from ages 3-12 actively participated and learned in the Tan Yan Kee Library Summer Class held at the 16th floor of San Fernando Tower, Binondo, Manila.
    ​
        As they said, learning is a never-ending process. The Tan Yan Kee Foundation, Inc. (TYKFI) recognizes the need to provide children with an avenue for continuous learning, even during summer. Chinese Literature is one unique class that teaches values and life’s lessons which are important for positive growth of every children.

        Chinese Literature can be learned in different forms and activities such as reading and appreciation of Chinese Idioms, Chinese Tang Poetries, and stories with moral lessons. Art activities such as coloring, origami, and creating Mother and Father’s Day greeting cards also ignited their interest in art.
        Presentations in the form of short plays, story-telling, narration, and song interpretation were also done as part of the classes.
        In addition, some self-care skills they learned may be used for their everyday living. Overall, they also learned and improved their Chinese Language, particularly Mandarin and Fookien.
        Dr. Lucio C. Tan, Mrs. Carmen K. Tan, and Ms. Fe Chen-Urdaneta graced the culmination program and graduation rites on July 7, 2019 where all students presented short plays, story-telling, narration, singing, and song interpretation with all presentations done in Mandarin. Parents were also present to witness their child’s performances.
        Without the guidance of teachers Mr. Ulysses Yu, Ms. Yee Hoa Lee and library personnel Ms. Florentina Go and Ella Mae Valenzuela, the summer class would not be possible. They were also glad to have taken part in making the students’ summer vacation worthwhile.
        The parents, on the other hand, observed that their children improved their Chinese Language proficiency and had a deeper understanding about Chinese history, culture, and values. They were also happy to see that the students had equal chances of performing on stage, may it be acting or singing, which they cannot experience during regular school.
        Most importantly, the students were satisfied to have spent their time learning while at the same time met new friends coming from different schools. It is not only through books that they learn, but also in meeting other people.

      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).
