W.T. Chan Fellowships Program (Chinese: 陈荣捷奖学金项目), also known as the Lingnan Chan Fellowships Program, is a six-month program[1] established by the Lingnan Foundation in 2001 to commemorate Wing-Tsit Chan, former Dean of Lingnan University[2] and Distinguished Professor of Chinese Philosophy and Religion. Celebrating the Lingnan motto "Education for Service", the program provides challenging educational and leadership opportunities for ''Chinese Students'' through service learning and intercultural experiences in the United States. At its core, the program seeks to nurture a lifelong commitment to service.[3]
The Lingnan Foundation selected W.T. Chan Fellows based on their commitment to service as well as their maturity, flexibility, experience, personal initiative, and creativity. Each selected Fellow is assigned to work at a non-profit organisation in California. With support and guidance from program organizers, the Fellows gain practical experience in service work and intercultural cooperation. Foundation Members live in American homes for the full duration of the program. They also attend seminars on non-profit organization management and community development, cultural events, as well as mandatory weekly reflection meetings while in the United States, and the program usually runs from August to January.
