We grant annual scholarships to students who embody the traits we value most – sincerity, honesty, and integrity.
Our Mission
On June 29, 1999, we lost our beloved father and grandfather San Yeh to an aggressive form of cancer. Although he'd lived a full seventy-five years when he passed, we felt the world had lost an abundant source of kindness and humility too soon. To honor his legacy, we created The San Yeh Charity Foundation to grant scholarships to students who uphold San's traditions of sincerity, honesty, and integrity.
“My aspiration is to become a biotechnical engineer so I can help people. This scholarship means I can put less strain on my parents, and I'm honored to have been awarded it.”
— Sonny williams, 2016 san yeh scholarship recipient
We award a minimum of two scholarships a year, each valued up to $2,000. Applicants must be high school seniors or current students at a public college or university in Virginia. We also welcome applications from families of three or fewer with an annual income less than $40,000, or families of four or more with an annual income less than $50,000.
