About President Chao Nee Memorial Scholarship
President Chao Nee Memorial Scholarship was established on April 18, 1996, at the 20th Board Meeting of Cheng Kung Cultural Foundation (CKCF; 成功文化基金會), by Tsu-Wei Nee, Marian Tsu-Tsun (Nee) Chou, and Tsu-Jye Abraham Nee, in memory of their beloved father, Dr. Chao Nee.  The impetus for this memorial scholarship was to create a lasting tribute to Dr. Chao Nee, who strongly believed in the importance of education.  The scholarship is also a reflection of his deep love toward the National Cheng Kung University (NCKU), where he taught and worked for 30 years and retired as the President of the university in 1978.   

Since 1996, CKCF in Tainan, Taiwan, has managed this scholarship fund.  Annual interest generated is used for the scholarship.   The President Chao Nee Memorial Scholarship Committee was organized in 1996 to oversee the selection of scholarship recipients.  Scholarship Committee members consist of NCKU alumni & a Nee family member who work voluntarily and with dedication.   Every year, three recipients are usually selected, and each is awarded with a check of $1,000 & a framed award certificate.  A scholarship presentation ceremony is usually held at the National Cheng Kung University North America Alumni Association (NCKUNAAA) local area meeting where the recipients’ parents reside.
