With the generous and enthusiastic support from numerous friends of Aaron and his family, including many colleagues of his parents at the University of Toronto and far beyond, a permanent endowment will soon be created at the University of Toronto Scarborough to set up an Aaron Jingyi Chen Memorial Award starting in 2024. The quick response and generosity of these donors have deeply touched Aaron’s family and friends. Thank you all for making this award possible in such a short period of time.

​

We wanted to acknowledge the generosity and contributions of all donors, but we also fully appreciate that many of them prefer to remain anonymous. Besides the thank-you letters from the U of T Development Office, we therefor want to thank all donors here again for their generous contributions to this award. Your support will enable the scholarship to help more students in need in the future.  We also hope that your generosity and compassion will inspire more people to help others through similar charitable and nonprofit initiatives.

​​

The Aaron Jingyi Chen Memorial Award at the University of Toronto will continue to accept donation, which will make the award more impactful by helping more than one student each year. As a Canadian registered charity, U of T can issue you a Canadian tax receipt for charitable donation if that is an important consideration for your tax planning, though you have to go through its New York affiliate office if you are based in the U.S. and need the non-profit tax receipts recognized by the IRS, as explained in the giving page, which has more details about the award and payment methods.

Proceed to donate to the permanent endowment for Aaron Jingyi Chen Memorial Award directly through the University of Toronto​​
