HK$100,000 will be a full scholarship for one student to participate in overseas exchange for one semester. (note: donations of HK$100 or above will be tax deductible in the HKSAR).
In appreciation of donors’ generosity, acknowledgement will be arranged in such ways as the naming of scholarship, promotion on websites, printed materials and/or other media, and award presentation in the annual Student Awards Presentation Ceremony.
Donors are welcome to support specific academic programmes in relation to their mission and/or business areas. Post-exchange internships and/or other giving options are open for discussion.
