Vision

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
