2015 ETS TOEIC^® Virtue Scholarship Program for Mainland China

At nonprofit ETS, our experience, research and commitment to excellence in creating educational assessments ensures both test takers and score users alike that our tests are fair, valid and reliable. This is why ETS has been in operation for over 60 years and develops, administers and scores more than 50 million tests annually.

Celebrating more than 30 years of service to organizations around the globe, the TOEIC^® test is the global standard for measuring workplace English communications skills for companies, institutions and government agencies around the world. In 2010, ETS developed the TOEIC^® Scholarship Program for China to recognize outstanding academic achievement.  This scholarship program offers eligible university students the opportunity to be rewarded for high academic achievement, a desire to contribute to their community or school, and an outstanding ability to communicate in English. The TOEIC Scholarship in China mainland has been operated for four consecutive years since 2010. 

In 2015, ETS redesigns the TOEIC Scholarship Program by partnering with the China Foundation for Poverty Alleviation (CFPA) and the Beijing Foreign Enterprise Human Resources Service Co., Ltd. (FESCO) to further strengthen its commitment to public welfare while preparing the applicants with an advanced skill set to meet the challenges in their career development. Potential internships or even job opportunities will be made available to the program winners. We know that these enhancements of self-advancement, job opportunities and insight for welfare  developed by this joint effort will be a value-add to the traditional ETS TOEIC Scholarship Program.

Founded in March 1989, China Foundation for Poverty Alleviation (CFPA) is a non-governmental organization specializing in poverty alleviation in China. With the support from all sectors of the society, CFPA has accumulatively raised RMB 9.57 billion and benefited 17.8million poverty or disaster stricken people by the end of 2013. Now CFPA has become a philanthropic organization with the largest scale and greatest social impact in poverty reduction. CFPA has twice been rated as the top 5A foundation by Ministry of Civil Affairs. www.cfpa.org.cn
