Alumna Ms. Anna A. Kao, in loving memory of her mother, Mrs. Tan Fang-ming Kao, and father, Mr. Hansen Shen Kao, established the “Mr. Kuo-duo Tan and Mrs. Teng In-chung Tan & Mr. Shin-tien Kao and Mrs. Dang Wen-yu Kao International Exchange Memorial Scholarship” in National Taiwan University to fulfill her mother’s wishes. This scholarship fund honors the legacy of her maternal grandparents, Mr. Kuo-duo Tan and Mrs. Teng In-chung Tan, as well as her paternal grandparents, Mr. Shin-tien Kao and Mrs. Dang Wen-yu Kao.
Mr. Kuo-duo Tan devoted his life to serving his country as a Major General and Chief of Staff, while Mrs. Teng In-chung Tan was respected for her kindness and virtue. Mr. Shin-tien Kao achieved success in his business endeavors, and Mrs. Dang Wen-yu Kao was revered for her wisdom and dedication to her family. Together, they embodied a steadfast commitment to nurturing future generations.
To carry forward their legacy and vision of cultivating future leaders, Ms. Anna A. Kao generously donated to National Taiwan University to establish two scholarships: the “Hansen Shen Kao and Tan Fang-ming Kao International Exchange Memorial Scholarship” and the “Mr. Kuo-duo Tan and Mrs. Teng In-chung Tan & Mr. Shin-tien Kao and Mrs. Dang Wen-yu Kao International Exchange Memorial Scholarship.” These scholarships aim to support and empower NTU students by enhancing their global competitiveness and cultivating a spirit of benevolence and compassion in the younger generation.
