Mr. Shin-Cheng Yu and Dr. June C. Y. Tsao-Yu Memorial Student Travel Award Fund

The Yu Family established a Graduate Education Award to commemorate the legacy of their parents, Mr. Shin-Cheng Yu and Professor June Chien-Yu Tsao-Yu, who came from China to receive their graduate education at the University of Illinois, Urbana/Champaign.

After graduation from Illinois, they returned to China and dedicated their professional lives to the modernization of China and education of the younger generations in that country. It was the very fine education that they received at the University of Illinois that enabled them to establish their legacy in education, science, and public service in China. It also inspired their children to come to this country for higher education and to pursue their dreams.
