Since Mr. Angelo Koo Jr. assumed the role of Chairman of the China Development Foundation in 2006, he has committed to supporting various educational and public welfare initiatives, directing the foundation to promote talent cultivation programs. Recently, the foundation held a briefing session for the 18th “ Tutoring Legacy Scholarship” program on September 5th. The university students who were awarded scholarships this year gathered together to learn financial management knowledge from professional advisors at KGI Bank, helping them to outline their future happiness equations.
The “Tutoring Legacy Scholarship” program awards outstanding university students from low-income families from various universities across the country. The foundation invited professional advisors from KGI Bank to tailor and design “financial literacy” courses for these young students. Wayne Hsu, President of KGI Bank, stated that the “Tutoring Legacy Scholarship” program of China Development Foundation alleviates the financial burden on young students and fosters their self-worth recognition. KGI Bank promotes financial literacy education for the youth, embodying Chairman Koo’s directive that “education is the most valuable investment” as part of their public welfare strategy.
University students who receive the scholarship are required to dedicate 100 hours as tutors for underprivileged children, encouraging them to seek positive motivation. Lin, a student who benefited from the Tutoring Legacy Scholarship program 10 years ago, has now become a tutoring mentor herself. She expressed great joy in being able to give back to underprivileged children now that she has grown up and is capable of doing so. Lin said, “The Tutoring Legacy Scholarship program has brought me the fortune of acquainting my tutoring mentor back then and has granted me the opportunity to pass on the spirit of the program.”
