That belief inspired NJIT alumnus William Yeh ’89, the CEO and founder of CSI Technology Group, to establish the \u003Cem>William Yeh ’89 CSI Student Study-Abroad Scholarship Fund.\u003C\u002Fem> Through this fund, CSI provides financial support for a study-abroad program that is formally established and administered by the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) in collaboration with the National Taipei University of Technology (Taipei Tech). The scholarship fund is dedicated to giving NJIT students the chance to study in and experience Taiwan through a two-week language and cultural immersion program at Taipei Tech.\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>During NJIT’s 2024-2025 winter break, the first 19 undergraduate students were chosen to embark on the transformative two-week immersion program. An additional 20 students participated in the program over the 2025 summer break, surpassing Mr. Yeh’s vision to provide at least 30 NJIT students with meaningful international experiences over the course of the 2024 and 2025 academic years. The program is continuing beyond 2025 with an even heightened student interest with 20 students already in Taiwan in January 2026. Through this intentionally designed, need-based study-abroad initiative, students strengthened their language skills, broadened their global perspectives, and deepened their intercultural understanding.\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\u003Ch3>A Diverse Cohort, A Shared Global Experience\u003C\u002Fh3>The inaugural student group reflected NJIT’s diverse academic community, with students representing majors such as computer science, engineering, biology, mathematics, and architecture. Selection was based on academic performance, leadership potential, and a strong enthusiasm for global learning and engagement.\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>Over the two-week student exchange program, NJIT students received expert Mandarin language instruction, attended cultural workshops, and followed a curated university itinerary. Highlights included visits to major cultural landmarks such as the National Palace Museum, the Taipei 101, and the historic Maokong district, known for its tea culture and scenic hillside landscapes.\u003Cdiv class='img-area'>\u003Cimg src='..\u002Fimages\u002Fnews\u002Fnews-2025-1226-1.jpg' style='max-width: 100%' \u002F>\u003Cp>NJIT students pose in front of the National Taipei University of Technology (Taipei Tech)\u003C\u002Fp>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv class='img-area'>\u003Cimg src='..\u002Fimages\u002Fnews\u002Fnews-2025-1226-2.jpg' style='max-width: 100%' \u002F>\u003Cp>NJIT students learn how to prepare and roast traditional Taiwanese tea leaves\u003C\u002Fp>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv class='img-area'>\u003Cimg src='..\u002Fimages\u002Fnews\u002Fnews-2025-1226-3.jpg' style='max-width: 100%' \u002F>\u003Cp>NJIT students participate in a culinary workshop making Taiwanese pineapple cake desserts\u003C\u002Fp>\u003C\u002Fdiv>The program’s impact extended far beyond the classroom, providing students with opportunities to build independence, adaptability, and strong intercultural communication skills.

At NJIT, I found a strong community among fellow students who, like me, are children of immigrants. This experience deepened that connection, providing a broader perspective on our shared backgrounds. The most fulfilling part of my time at NJIT has been seeing efforts build upon one another, opening doors and creating opportunities. With every class, extracurricular activity, and experience beyond campus, I continue to develop skills that empower me to achieve more each day.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cfooter>\u003Cb>Salma\u003C\u002Fb>\u003Cbr \u002F>Class of 2027, Mechanical Engineering Major\u003C\u002Ffooter> \u003C\u002Fblockquote>\u003Cblockquote> \u003Cp>Thank you for this opportunity.

Dorman Honors College at NJIT, remarked: “Our partnership with Taipei Tech and the government of Taiwan has made a lasting impact on the lives and careers of our scholars—expanding their horizons and ambitions. I am proud to say that one alumna of the program is now pursuing her graduate studies in advanced chip manufacturing in Taiwan. We are truly grateful to have such wonderful partners.”\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>Echoing this sentiment, Dr. Marieta Chemishanova, Executive Director of Global Initiatives at NJIT, observed: “I’ve seen firsthand how the Huayu BEST Program at Taipei Tech transforms students. With the generous support of Mr. William Yeh and Taiwan’s Ministry of Education, our students immerse themselves fully in Mandarin learning and Taiwanese culture—and they return more confident, curious, and globally minded.”\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>As a company rooted in innovation and forward-thinking solutions, CSI believes that global education strengthens the next generation of leaders. With the establishment of this new program, NJIT continues to deepen its commitment to global learning, inclusion, and the provision of unique opportunities for all its students.
