USF awarded $1 million to create scholarships for low-income Hillsborough County students

The University of South Florida announced a $1 million gift from Connie and Tony Leung, founders of Sanwa Food Group, to establish the Leung Family Scholarships.

The gift, made through the USF Foundation, will support students who graduated from high schools in southern Hillsborough County. The scholarship, which will start next school year, will have a minimum of four recipients with annual awards of $10,000 each.

“I think the best investment anybody can give to their children is education, not money,” Connie Leung said.

This is the Leungs’ second USF scholarship. In 2009, they established the Leung Global Experience Scholarship.
