One of the goals of the George W. Bush Institute is to improve the human condition in North Korea, where 24 million people live under a brutal dictator. When the Bush Institute wanted to establish a scholarship fund to support North Korean refugees, it came to CFT to administer the program by handling the scholarship applications, screening and grants.
Grace Jo is a recipient of the North Korean Freedom Scholarship. After seeing several family members starve to death, she escaped North Korea and ultimately came to the U.S. Now she is pursuing a college degree and hopes to become a dentist. “Obtaining an education and becoming a professional is the way for me to stabilize my family and eventually serve the people of North Korea,” she said. CFT is honored to help empower students like Grace Jo through freedom and education.
