A few of our ECE Visionary Scholarship donors include:
Keundo Park
Keundo (BSEE '95) knows firsthand the stress, fear, and struggles that come along with paying for a college education- especially when you come from a family with limited financial resources.
Park dreamt of a way to help students get through college without taking on so much debt. Today, his dream is becoming a reality. “My hope is that I can help in a small way to give those young students, who have the aptitude but just don’t have the financial means to get there… an option to say ‘Here is a potential scholarship that will help me choose ILLINOIS.”
