Yau Tsit Law attended the True Light Seminary in Canton, where her mother was the principal.[1] In 1912 she traveled to the United States for college, one of the first women sent by the Chinese government for an American college education.[2] She graduated from Mount Holyoke College in 1916,[3] and pursued graduate studies at Columbia University.[4]
Yau Tsit Law was awarded an honorary doctorate by Mount Holyoke College in 1937,[10] at its centennial celebration.[11] One of Law's students at True Light Seminary, Jane Kwong Lee, served as coordinator of the Chinese YWCA in San Francisco, California, from 1935 to 1944.[12]
