On Tuesday, April 7, 2015, the Jérôme Lohez 9/11 Scholarship Foundation will hold a ceremony at the residence of Emmanuel Lenain, the French Consul General in Shanghai to celebrate their new French-Chinese academic exchange program.
The Lohez Foundation has established a pair of two-country scholarships with Fudan University – one dealing with international communication and media between the Journalism Schools of Sciences Po and Fudan University and the other focusing on global affairs between Europe and Asia, between the School of International and Public Affairs at Fudan University and Sciences Po in Paris.
Paloma Moritz will be awarded the Jérôme Lohez 9/11 Scholarship for the communication and media program and Camille Andrieu will receive the Jérôme Lohez 9/11 Scholarship for global affairs. Both scholarships will be awarded during the April 7 event.
Ms. Dening Wu Lohez, widow of Jérôme Robert Lohez and founder and president of the Jérôme Lohez 9/11 Scholarship Foundation, is an American-French citizen of Chinese heritage.
