Phillip Yin and Friends American Dream Foundation (PYFADF)
was founded on the belief that every student should have the
opportunity to fulfill their educational goals. Phillip Yin, an alumni
of the University of Washington, is the
Business Anchor for the daily business show, Global Business America
at CCTV America in Washington D.C. He started the Foundation to help
motivated students by sharing a part of their financial burden
associated with going to a university.
To celebrate the launch of the Foundation and the
first year of the scholarship, Phillip Yin will be on campus, Wednesday,
October 14, to meet with students and introduce the Phil and Friends
American Dream Foundation Scholarship Fund.
