The Laura Cha (Shi Mei Lun) Scholarship Established at the Yale School of Management
New Haven, Conn., February 1, 2005桳aura Cha, former vice-chairman of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, has contributed $700,000 to endow The Laura Cha (Shi Mei Lun) Scholarship at the Yale School of Management. This merit-based scholarship is intended to provide financial assistance to MBA students from mainland China who demonstrate financial need. It will be awarded every other year so that one student will get his or her two-year MBA tuition fully covered by this scholarship.
揥e are enormously grateful to Ms. Cha for her generosity and her commitment to providing exceptional students from China an opportunity to study at the Yale School of Management,?said Anne Coyle, admissions director at Yale SOM. 揟his scholarship enhances our ability to attract China抯 best and brightest梕specially those who could not otherwise afford to study here. It also serves to further the intellectual exchange between the School and China.?
China regularly factors into the research interests of faculty and students at Yale SOM. Key programs include the China Research Initiative at the International Center for Finance, which studies the history and current issues of market development in China and disseminates ideas for further economic and institutional reforms, and the Yale China Business Conference that the Greater China Student Interest Group will hold at Yale SOM in April 2005.
Laura Cha, a member of the Executive Council of the Hong Kong Government, was the first person to join the Government of the People抯 Republic of China at the vice-ministerial rank when she was appointed as Vice-Chairman of the China Securities Regulatory Commission in early 2001. She studied in America, receiving her B.A. from the University of Wisconsin and J.D. from Santa Clara University.
