April is already halfway through. For students who are preparing to apply for 2025 Fall, there is still half a year left for planning and academic improvement. Making good use of this time will not only fuel your application to study abroad, but also greatly increase the success rate of your dream school application.

Time is running out and many parents are beginning to worry when faced with the pressure of entering higher education:

• What should I do if I don’t have a big prize to win?
• If my child has not done any scientific research activities, can he still make up for it?
• There are not enough activities. Are there any projects that can be produced in the short term?

.........

After seeing these questions from everyone, I suddenly discovered that although many children have entered the application season, the activity planning is still very confusing.

In order to solve everyone's troubles, the junior sister recommends a memorization activity that is the best way to apply for it - Yau Shing-tung Middle School Science Award . Now is the golden opportunity to prepare for the competition, everyone should seize the last chance!

Why is the Yau Prize a trump card for application?

1、High gold content

It is currently the only scientific research competition for Chinese middle school students around the world . It advocates innovative thinking and teamwork, abandons test papers and standard answers, and allows students to participate in the form of submitting research reports. It has been included in the top-notch independent enrollment plans by Fudan, Tsinghua, Peking University and other schools. middle.

2、Apply for tools

As a stepping stone to the world's top universities, more than half of the award-winning middle school students have been recommended to study at well-known Chinese and foreign universities such as Tsinghua University, Peking University, Harvard, MIT, Yale and Princeton .

3、Creativity

Different from ordinary science activities, it advocates innovative thinking and teamwork, aiming to promote the development of science in middle schools and stimulate and enhance the interest and innovative ability of Chinese middle school students around the world in scientific research.

4、High degree of autonomy and relative independence

The Yau Prize covers six major disciplines : mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, computer, and economic and financial modeling ; it comprehensively demonstrates students' creative abilities and gives students ample opportunities and space for development.
