FUND LAUNCHED IN MURDERED CHINESE STUDENT'S NAME

Move by family aimed at helping international scholars

The legacy of a Chinese student who was murdered in 2017 less than two months after arriving in the United States to pursue her dream of studying abroad has been memorialized by a fund set up in her name to support international students.

Named after Zhang Yingying, the fund, founded by the University of Illinois with the support of Zhang's family, will help students in times of hardship or crisis.
