- 11_Scholarship_Foundation abstract "The Jérôme R. Lohez 9/11 Scholarship Foundation was launched in November 2005, in memory of Jérôme R. Lohez, a Frenchman who was lost in the North Tower of the World Trade Center during the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on New York City. The foundation's stated mission is "to foster French and American unity and cultural understanding, by supporting scientific, technological, and scholarly exchanges in higher education, in honor of those diverse citizens who perished in the 2001 attacks in New York City."The founder of the organization is Jérôme's widow, Dening Wu Lohez. Ms. Lohez first established a memorial scholarship fund in her husband's memory in 2002 at Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, N.J. Ms. Lohez and her husband had met as graduate students at the Institute during the mid-1990s.The scholarship foundation was a later outgrowth of this early effort. Ms. Lohez sought and received assistance from French diplomatic representatives in establishing the foundation. In 2008, President Nicholas Sarkozy wrote a letter of commendation in recognition of the foundation's achievements.To date, the Jérôme R. Lohez 9/11 Scholarship Foundation and the Stevens Jérôme R. Lohez '95 Memorial Fund have provided scholarship monies to more than 30 French and American graduate exchange students, working through Stevens in the U.S. and EPITA in France, as well as in partnership with the Columbia University Alliance Program in New York City.In 2012, the foundation initiated the Jacques Barzun Award for Distinguished Contributions to Trans-Cultural Scholarly Exchange. According to the foundation, the award is "to be conferred once a year upon two institutions of higher learning, one French and one American, in recognition of their shared international dual-degree programs (master’s and doctoral levels), and/or for their joint research efforts." Also in 2012, the foundation initiated a new set of partnerships with Fudan University in Shanghai, China. The first agreement was concluded with Fudan University's School of Journalism to provide scholarship awards to French and Chinese students from the Fudan-Sciences Po dual master's degree program on Media and Communications.In 2013, the foundation established a second agreement, with Fudan University's School of International Relations and Public Administration, to provide scholarship awards to French and Chinese students from the Fudan-Sciences Po dual master's degree program on Asia and European Global Affairs.Two successive Scholarship Award ceremonies were held at the French Consul's residence in Shanghai.".
