The WGAHK 2011 Scholarship is worth HK$25,000 and the WGAHK 2011 Engineering Scholarship (fully sponsored by Warwick School of Engineering) is valued at GBP 4,000. Both are one-off awards to be deducted from the winners’ academic fees for the first year of their study at the University of Warwick.

 

A total of 42 complete applications have been received for the scholarship. Members of the screening panel met on 3rd September 2011 to short-list the candidates for the panel interview. This year’s screening panel was particular special because this was the first time that graduate members of the WGAHK Scholars Club had participated in the screening process. Other members of the panel included WGAHK current & former executive committee members, and also President of IGDSHK.

The scholarship award ceremony was held on 17th September 2011 during the WGAHK Scholars Club luncheon, partially sponsored by two supportive alumni. Each of the short-listed candidates was given a certified letter by WGAHK as well as a HK$500 book coupon as a token of encouragement to their achievement. The 2 scholarship winners each received a big symbolic scholarship cheque at the ceremony. Their actual scholarship money will be deposited directly to their accounts with Warwick after they have enrolled.
