Mo Lin YU Memorial Prize in the Faculty of Arts

Award descriptionA $3,650 prize has been made available through an endowment established by Simmon Yu, son of Mo Lin Yu for the top academic student who has completed their third year in the Faculty of Arts at the University of British Columbia. This prize was created to honour the memory of Mo Ling Yu, the matriarch of the Yu family, who came to Canada in the 1980s. Mo Lin did not have the opportunity to study at UBC but always had a passion for learning and felt that young people should be encouraged in their endeavour to achieve academic excellence in higher education. The award is made on the recommendation of the Faculty of Arts.
