Our Target
Tsinghua University’s research has shown that a large percent of FGCS are from low-income family with limited economic, social and cultural resources.
For FGCS, it is no longer true that college is a great equalizer. It is often those from affluent backgrounds who land the best jobs.
Even if ambitious low income FGCS have done its utmost to attend the same college and are willing to work hard, finding a job with opportunities for upward mobility is difficult for them.
