The 2026 "Full Truck Alliance Cloud Journey Scholarship" initiative, a public welfare educational aid program jointly launched by the digital freight platform Yunnan Manbang and the Manbang Charity Foundation, has officially commenced. This marks the fifth consecutive year of the scholarship project, which provides academic support to the children of truck drivers. With the theme "A Vast Cloud Journey, A New Voyage Begins," it aims to help outstanding students pursue their dreams in broader horizons.
50 available slots, each valued at 3,000 RMB, to lighten the load for trucker families. This year's Cloud Journey Scholarship will set aside 50 funding slots, with each recipient receiving 3,000 RMB in financial aid to ease the economic burden on truck driver households. From now until August 5, eligible children of truck drivers can apply through multiple channels, including the Yunnan Manbang driver app, the Manbang Group's official WeChat accounts, and other project-specific platforms. The selection process will comprehensively consider factors such as the applicant's family financial situation, college entrance exam scores, admitted institution, and personal conduct. The final list of recipients will be announced before August 12. Since its inception in 2022, the Cloud Journey Scholarship has established a long-term public welfare mechanism, cumulatively assisting 153 truck drivers' children in entering university. From Shen Yingliang of Shandong, who drove for Yunnan Manbang for five years to support two college graduates, to Wu Guangheng of Guizhou, whose two children have both received the scholarship, to Huang Yaoying of Guangxi, who drove his truck to support his son's dream of attending Huazhong University of Science and Technology—these real-life stories bear witness to the project's deep commitment, evolving from "academic assistance" to "talent cultivation."
Launching the "Cloud Journey Internship Program" to build a dual-track model of "aid plus talent development." Notably, the 2026 Cloud Journey Scholarship, while continuing its core mission of educational support, has simultaneously introduced the "Cloud Journey Internship Program." This initiative creates a dedicated channel for connecting selected students with internship opportunities, establishing a dual-track model of "academic aid plus talent cultivation." Selected students, during their junior and senior years, will have the opportunity to participate in the Manbang Group's internship selection process through a special pathway, receiving priority recommendations for internship positions and being paired with a dedicated growth mentor who provides career planning guidance and periodic development feedback. Against the backdrop of a challenging current employment environment, this move extends the program from "scholarship awards" to "empowerment," broadening the support chain from tuition assistance to career development guidance. The Manbang Group aims to help these children of truck drivers gain a preliminary understanding of the industry landscape, accumulate professional experience, and build momentum for their future growth.
Five years of dedication: Bringing hope to families on the road. Over the past five years, the Cloud Journey Scholarship has received nearly a thousand applications, covering hundreds of cities nationwide. It has witnessed many children of truck drivers being admitted to prestigious institutions such as Tsinghua University, Peking University, and Huazhong University of Science and Technology, establishing itself as a benchmark project for public welfare education in the logistics industry. A representative from the Manbang Charity Foundation stated: "Truck drivers are the guardians of the national economy's lifeline. They are on the front lines of transportation year-round, using their steering wheels to support their families and ensure the smooth flow of China's logistics. The Cloud Journey Scholarship is our tribute and repayment for this dedication. Over these five years, we have witnessed countless inspiring stories of struggle—from Master Shen, who started driving trucks to pay off debts after his factory closed, to Master Wu, a single father raising two children alone. They have proven through their tireless journeys that a college dream for their children can be carried on the road. Going forward, Yunnan Manbang and the Manbang Charity Foundation will continue to deepen the Cloud Journey Scholarship project, constantly improve the Cloud Journey Internship Program, connect more social resources, contribute to the healthy development of the freight and logistics industry, and enable more children of truck drivers to fly higher and go further. We want every family struggling on the road to have the power to change their destiny."
