College is expensive and figuring out how to manage costs along with the burden of student loans is beginning to take a toll on us. We are a first-generation Chinese immigrant family and running on a limited budget. You all have just made getting through this stressful period a lot easier for me and my family. Although there will still be loads of student loans waiting for me, the burden of peripheral costs has been almost entirely erased by your gracious gift. This will allow me to focus more on my academics, the thing that should always be the most important thing in a college education.” Yat Chun Yip, 2019 One-Year Scholarship Learn how you can support PPEF’s scholarship program and see the list of donors at ppef.us .
