• Invitation for 2019 Chinese Civic Center High School

  Excellence is a habit, and the most important time in developing it is in the age of high school. The educationalist Mr. Tao Xingzhi said: "All learning must be aimed at the happiness of the people. Morality is the foundation of being a human being. If this foundation collapses, you will be of no use no matter how much knowledge and skills you have." In order to encourage the students of Chinese descent to be “hardworking, self-motivated, enthusiastic, and caring for others”, the Chinese Civic Center (CCC) established the CCC High-School Education Scholarship Foundation in 2014. On the occasion of the 24th anniversary of the founding of the Chinese Civic Center, the CCC  Foundation  and  New  York  Life  Foundation  jointly  established  the  “CCC  High  School Education  Scholarship”  in  2019.  This  scholarship  will  grant  the  students  of  Chinese  descent whose family are not affluent, but with excellent academic performance and outstanding social activities contributing to communities.
