Shanghai Sunrise is a non-profit organization dedicated to creating access to education through scholarships for underprivileged Shanghai youth.

Established in 1996, Shanghai Sunrise’s scholarship and mentorship programs have supported 3,200 students to create a brighter future for themselves and their families. Our graduates are able to realize fulfilling careers and become a positive force in the community.

Committed to the promise of 100% of scholarship donations going directly to students, Shanghai Sunrise partners with corporations, international associations and philanthropic individuals to achieve our mission. Since its inception, over RMB 32 million has been raised for high school and university students.

Shanghai Sunrise is a registered program of the Shanghai Charity Foundation (SCF).

Access to education in Shanghai

Shanghai Sunrise believes that education is the key to success and we champion continued learning opportunities for young people.  Our core motivation is that every student should have the chance to attain the highest education level possible – regardless of their social and financial background.

In China, education is free until the 9th grade. While government support programs exist for poor households to cover subsequent tuition and other education-related expenses, not all families in need of financial assistance qualify. Together with SCF and social workers, we identify low-income families in Shanghai who struggle to send their children to senior high school. The majority of our students are from single-parent households, have family members with mental health problems, or face severe medical expenses due to chronic or terminal illness.

Our high school scholarship of 3000 RMB per year is enough to cover schooling-related expenses and to provide disadvantaged students with the opportunity to continue their education.

02

What we can provide?

We want to raise community awareness and bring attention to the fact that even in a rich, modern city like Shanghai there are many disadvantaged students who may be at risk of dropping out of high school or unable to realize their potential due to their personal circumstances.

Shanghai Sunrise relies on volunteers, sponsors, and partners to achieve our mission. Through this platform, we hope to recruit new volunteers who are willing to dedicate their talent and time on a regular basis. Volunteering with Shanghai Sunrise is an opportunity to share your experience, develop new skills, build your professional network, and make new connections.

Sponsors that provide scholarships have the unique opportunity to build a relationship with their sponsored students, witness their growth firsthand, and become personal champions for education.  All forms of cooperation and support are impactful and meaningful ways to give back to the local community.

We hope to reach a broader community base that extends beyond our current Shanghai Sunrise family and friends network. Thanks to this exposure through social media channels and participation in online communities, we wish to create new and real connections in order to champion education for a brighter future together.
