獎勵優秀學子 余風采堂舉行獎學金頒發

溫哥華余風采堂於五月十五日（星期六）上午十一時正在網路舉行獎學金頒發儀式，鼓勵品學兼優的學子們勤奮好學，勇攀高峰，以及資助他們繼續深造。 因疫情期間，不能有近距離接触，所以一年一度的獎學金頒發活動只能在網上透過 Skype 舉行，儀式簡單而隆重。

加拿大余風采總堂主席余宏榮、副主席余美湛、余金星、書記余德強；溫哥華余風采堂主席余耀祥、 副主席暨獎學金基金會副主任余佳卓、副核數主任余漢銳；嘉賓余柏培夫人 Carla Yee （她是紀念余柏培獎學金的代言人），及十三名獲獎學生暨一些家長陪同出席頒發儀式。 當中三名獲獎學生包括余恩秀、余美秀、余天虹、因有預約或出國，末能參加。

知識並不是只有學校裡的課程，還包括興趣開發以及自我學習的能力。接下來學生們簡單自我介紹， 在哪間學校就讀和班級，以及發表他們的興趣。

Vancouver YFT Virtual Scholarship Ceremony

On the Saturday of May 15th, 2021, YFT Vancouver held its 2nd scholarship awarding ceremony online via Skype. This year, a total of 16 recipients were awarded merit scholarships, 4 elementary school students, 3 secondary school students, and 9 university students. On top of these awards, the society also awarded 3 essay prizes for the best essay submission.

13 of the recipients attended the conference call together with their parents and YFT committee members. The ceremony went very well, as we managed to cover a quick introduction of YFT society in Canada and talk about where the source of scholarship funds is coming from by acknowledging the sponsors. Before recognizing the individual scholarship recipients in their respective categories, all students are given the chance to introduce themselves to everyone. During the call, we have Clara Yee, the sponsor for Joseph Yee's memorial Prize to share with our students her inspiration for setting up this memorial prize in memory of her late husband and also share the new essay topics for next year. There was a lot of back and forth communications and cheers during the call! At the end of the ceremony, the students and parents are provided with the detail on how to collect their scholarship certificates and awards.

Above are some of the photos taken during the virtual award ceremony and when the students claimed their scholarship certificates and awards at the YFT society hall.

Lastly, I would like to thank the YFT scholarship committee members and other YFT board members for helping to prepare the award certification and took the time to review and select the winning essays. Without their help, we would not be able to pull this 2nd online ceremony this quickly. Great teamwork!
