Impact & Scholarship
Our Scholars
Wang Ying from Yunnan Province, China, is awarded the scholarship for the year 2022.
In 2020, the Generation Z Investment Club established the "Generation Z Scholarship", which uses 20% of the endowment fund to support students from low-income families in China. Up to now, a total of 3 Chinese students have been sponsored (5000 RMB/year/person), and at the same time, they are also invited to join the club to learn investing and help them change their lives.
Last year, 2023, we visited the hometown of the bursary winner (Kayla), gave a speech to high school students in a remote mountainous area in Qingyang, Gansu Province, and donated 100 copies of the comic "INVEST!". The club hopes that the students can use comics to understand investment, and also hopes to help more village students in the future and change their lives!
This year, 2024, we followed one of our scholarship recipients, Wang Ying, to visit her hometown in Lijiang, Yunnan. Ninglang Yi Autonomous County, located in the northern part of Yunnan Province, China, is a place full of mystery and natural beauty. The Yi people have lived here for generations, and their culture has become intrinsic to the identity of the land.
2025 Scholars' Trip to Yunnan
She didn’t ask for much. Just a chance to learn, to grow, to meet people who believed in her.
In April, we traveled to a small village in Yunnan—home to Liangjing Xiao, one of our 2024 Next Gen scholarship recipients. Her family welcomed us with warmth. Her father said softly, “You’ve helped her—and helped us. I hope she’ll grow to be as exceptional as you.”
Since 2018, the Generation Z Investment Club has been working toward one mission: to make investor education accessible to every young person, no matter their background. We teach through comics. We give real capital to manage. We fund scholarships not just to relieve financial burden—but to invite students into a community where their potential is seen.
Because when one young woman starts to invest in her future, it doesn’t stop with her. It becomes a spark for generations to come. ❤️
