The Yenching Academy (YCA, also Yanjing Academy or Yanjing College; Chinese: 燕京学堂, pinyin: Yānjīng Xuétáng) is a postgraduate college of Peking University, located in Beijing, China. It hosts the Yenching Scholarship, a fully funded prestigious global scholarship program, designed "to cultivate leaders who will advocate for global progress and cultural understanding." The academy offers Yenching Scholars, selected annually from around the world, with full scholarships for one or two years of study leading to a master's degree from Peking University.[1][2][3][4]
Inspired by the classical Chinese academies or shuyuan and the Rhodes Scholarship at Oxford University, Yenching Academy at Peking University will compete with the younger Schwarzman College program at Tsinghua University in China and similar global scholarship programs around the world.[5][6]
