Jessie’s life was a beacon of warmth, intellect, and generosity of spirit, and her passing leaves a profound void in the lives of those who knew and loved her. Jessie was known for her remarkable ability to make others feel instantly at ease — as though they had known her their entire lives. She possessed a deep and unrelenting curiosity about the world, always seeking to understand its complexities and our place within it. Her passion for knowledge, for people, and for meaningful connection inspired everyone around her. This scholarship is a tribute to Jessie’s enduring legacy and her commitment to the pursuit of knowledge and understanding. It seeks to continue the work she began — to inspire and support the next generation of thinkers, learners, and explorers.
This scholarship is dedicated to supporting currently enrolled students at UC who wish to engage in immersive academic and cultural experiences in Taiwan. The purpose of the scholarship is to encourage students to deepen their understanding of Taiwanese society, language, and culture through meaningful, on-the-ground experiences. Provide financial support to ensure that capable and committed students are not held back from life-changing opportunities due to financial constraints. Build a community of recipients who will embody Jessie’s values of intellectual curiosity, cross-cultural engagement, and academic excellence.
We welcome your support of this scholarship in her memory.
