2) Jenny Low Chang/Associated Students Memorial Scholarship
Associated Student Inc.
The Jenny Low Chang Scholarship was originally created through an endowment fund established by Associated Students Incorporated (ASI) of San Francisco State University in honor of the late Jenny Low Chang. Ms. Chang was an Asian American student attending SF State in the late 1970’s. She was a high achiever who viewed life as a series of challenges and a woman who met each of those challenges successfully. As a biology major, she was passionate about science and medicine and hoped of becoming an orthodontist. That dream was never realized, when her life came to a tragic end on the morning of September 12, 1977. As of today, her murder remains unsolved. In her memory, ASI has established a scholarship in her name.
