Greeting
Rev. Samuel Chung, YPSC Senior Pastor
"The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest."
Praise the Lord!
I would like to extend our Christian welcome to all who are visiting Yuong Sang Presbyterian Church Scholarship website.
As Abraham Kuyper once said, “There is not a square inch in the whole domain of our human existence over which Christ, who is Sovereign over all, does not cry: ‘Mine!’” we believe that the kingdom of God expands through the people of God laying hold of the world through the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Yuong Sang Presbyterian Church Scholarship is such a fund that enables YSPC to find, invest in and encourage the next generation Christian leaders who will take the gospel of Jesus Christ into all areas of our lives for the glory of God.
As we continue to build up the next generation Christian leaders according to the purpose and vision for YS Scholarship Fund (below), we covet your earnest prayers and urge you to partner with us on this journey.
In Christ, Pastor Sam Chung
Your dreams come true.
Our Intent
Over 60 years ago, the founding pastor of Yuong Sang Presbyterian Church (YSPC), Rev. Yong Kol Yi, was only able to complete his education through the financial support of an anonymous donor. Through this anonymous donor, and many others who supported him during his childhood and seminarian years, Rev. Yi has been able to share the love of Christ with tens of thousands of people. The Yuong Sang Scholarship Foundation was established in 2016 when YSPC allocated $470,000 in honor of Rev. Yi, who requested that the funds be used to support the children of pastors and missionaries in the form of a scholarship. Additional generous donations were made to grow the total scholarship fund to $500,000.
Our Vision
1) To support those who are pursuing their Masters of Divinity degree program, to better prepare them as future leaders of the church and in world missions
2) To encourage faithful and potential leaders of YSPC in their undergraduate studies as they pursue their dreams and visions, despite financial challenges and hardships
3) To support pastors and missionary kids (PKs & MKs) as they pursue their graduate degrees with the intent to become missionaries
4) To develop a one on one mentoring program which will be used to make a positive impact to our next generation of Christian leaders

What people are saying
It is a great privilege to be able to offer my congratulations to you on behalf of Westminster Seminary. You are receiving a wonderful encouragement from Yuong Sang Church in the form of scholarships to help you continue your education. This is a great benefit to you in at least two ways. First, it helps your bank account! It's no secret that higher education is expensive. To receive help paying for your education is a great financial blessing. This may be so obvious that it doesn't need saying and yet, it's so important that we need to say it. Second, it helps your soul. To receive a scholarship means someone believes you are worthy of support for education. You had to apply for the scholarship; the award should be understood as an affirmation of your ability and promise for your future. To be given a scholarship by Christian people also connects you to them in a beautiful way. You are not alone as you launch out in a significant new phase of your life. God's people are with you in a very tangible way. Even more important, the Lord who moves his people to give is with you! May God bless you as you receive the scholarship and work hard to prepare yourself to serve the Lord Christ in his kingdom!
We want to develop 1:1 mentoring programs to provide the role of mentoring in positively shaping the next generation
