The SOAR Foundation was founded in 1995 in the San Francisco Bay Area by a group of people who cared deeply about education in China.

Each scholarship is a seed that has the potential not only to change the life of the recipients and their families, but also to affect positively the society and its civil progression. SOAR earnestly seeks your support for this forward-looking undertaking.

The SOAR headquarters in the United States is staffed by volunteers who receive no remuneration, financially or otherwise. Expenses on transportation, meals, student-visit trips in China, etc., are entirely funded by volunteers. Members of the foundation receive updates and financial reports twice a year.
