Phil and Friends American Dream Foundation Scholarship Fund
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.
