Description

The Cynthia H. Kuo Scholarship fund was established in loving memory of Cynthia by her husband, Dale Chen and best friend, Elisa Yu. Cynthia was always passionate about caring for people. She especially liked being part of a big Christian family, and helping people in need from time to time. In order to honor Cynthia and fulfill her wishes, her friends and family established this scholarship for Chinese students actively involved in the Christian faith and/or Christian youth groups. Applicants must be Chinese students who are either first-generation in the U.S. or born overseas, planning to attend college in the U.S. Applicants must be actively involved in the Christian faith or Christian youth group for the last two years. They must also be a graduating high school senior or current college student. Applicants must submit 2-3 letters of reference only. One letter must be from a teacher or academic advisor; and one letter must be from a Christian church leader such as youth pastor or youth group counselor. Letters from teachers, advisors, coaches and church leaders must be on school or company letterhead. All letters must be signed and dated. Photocopies are acceptable. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact Silicon Valley Community Foundation for more information.
