AREAS OF IMPACT
THE PAUL AND VIRGINIA CHENG INTERNATIONAL STUDENT ENDOWMENT
The Paul and Virginia Cheng International Student Endowment was created by a former Baylor student in honor of his parents who were international students in the U.S. and had a wonderful experience with local families and friends while pursuing their studies. The fund is designed to help current and future international students to have a home away from home while at Baylor University.
The fund shall be used to support Baylor’s international students through the Global Friendship Program as well as related programs necessary to help international students adjust to life in the U.S. and make connections to friends at Baylor and in Waco. Giving to The Paul and Virginia Cheng International Student Endowment will contribute towards connecting international students with local families as well as with current Baylor students both domestic and international, helping to truly spread Baylor’s Green & Gold afar!
