The George Tsui Scholarship

History

The Chinese American Association Scholarship  has been renamed the  George Tsui Scholarship. George was a  two time President of  CAIA, an  insurance executive who on a duty basis advocated for both the insurance industry as well as the chinese community. He was an ardent supporter for young chinese American students to pursue a carrier as he had.

In 2024 we mourned the loss of George but his legacy lives on through this CAIA Scholarship and the recipients.

The Board of CAIA is pledging its commitment to this CAIA Scholarship in Memory of George Tsui  for highly qualified students who can demonstrate excellence in academic achievement, dedication to insurance related studies, and extracurricular activities.

In addition to these CAIA  Scholarship in Memory of George Tsui, CAIA works closely with many major insurance associations, and holds other activities throughout the year. CAIA is a lead sponsor of an Insurance Industry Diversity Career Fair, working with cognate organizations and the insurance industry.
