A total of 61 students were awarded the Lee Quo Wei CUHK Golden Jubilee Scholarship this year in recognition of their excellent academic performance.

The presentation ceremony, held on 28 November at Cho Yiu Hall, was officiated by Mr Thomas Liang, Chief Executive of the Wei Lun Foundation and Professor Anthony Chan Tak-cheung, CUHK’s Pro-Vice-Chancellor and Vice-President (Alumni Relations & Advancement).

In his welcoming address, Professor Chan expressed gratitude to the Wei Lun Foundation for its unwavering support and commitment to the University over the years. He remarked that since its inception, the Lee Quo Wei CUHK Golden Jubilee Scholarship has empowered over 600 CUHK students in the pursuit of their academic dreams. While taking pride in the young scholars, he reminded them that true success extended beyond accolades and accomplishments – it was bringing positive changes to communities and individuals that mattered.

On behalf of all awardees, Suyasha Mohan Narasipuram, a third-year medical student, thanked the foundation for establishing a scholarship that not only provided financial support but also served as a catalyst for CUHK students’ personal growth and development. She described the scholarship as a beacon of motivation that encouraged recipients to seize opportunities available without hesitation. The scholarship, she noted, symbolised the foundation’s enduring dedication to advancing globalisation and education.

The Lee Quo Wei CUHK Golden Jubilee Scholarship Endowment Fund was established in 2013 to award medical students, law students and students from mainland China with excellent academic achievements, and support the students with financial needs for exchange programmes.
