Supporting YIS
Celebrate the YIS Legacy by Investing in the Future
At Yokohama International School, we believe in the transformative power of learning. That’s why we are building the Chowa Scholarship Fund—a need-based scholarship program designed to help reduce financial barriers and support access to a YIS education.
We are excited to launch this new fund for the 2026–2027 school year, but we need your support to make it happen.
By investing in this fund now, you are helping to create opportunities for families of students in our community who navigate financial and/or personal family obstacles. Your support will empower talented, motivated learners to continue thriving at YIS—strengthening the YIS legacy for generations to come.
Why Your Support Matters
Your investment in the Chowa Scholarship Fund will:
- Build a foundation of support that makes YIS accessible to a diverse range of learners, especially those who experience sudden financial hardships or changes in family circumstances.
- Strengthen YIS’s legacy of learning by fostering a culture of inclusion and opportunity for all students.
- Uphold YIS's value of community by supporting one another.
A Special Thank You
As a token of our gratitude, Chowa Scholarship Fund supporters who make a minimum contribution of ¥10,000 will receive a commemorative Centenary Chowa, a limited-edition keepsake celebrating 100 years of YIS history.
The Centenary Chowa is more than just a special yearbook—it's a beautiful tribute to the harmony and collaboration that defines the spirit of YIS. Inside, you'll find:
- A Historical Timeline: Celebrating key milestones and achievements from our 100-year journey.
- Alumni Reflections: Personal stories from generations of Dragons, sharing their experiences and growth.
- Community Tribute: Honoring the contributions of alumni, teachers, staff, parents, and friends who have shaped YIS.
It is truly a book created by Dragons, for all Dragons.
