We are delighted to announce the winners of this year’s scholarship:

WGAHK 2013 Scholarship Winner:                  Mr. Kevin LO (MMORSE)
WGAHK 2013 Engineering Scholarship Winner:  Mr. Edwin KWAN (Civil Engineering)

The WGAHK 2013 Scholarship is worth HK$40,000 (fully sponsored by WGAHK) and the WGAHK 2013 Engineering Scholarship (fully sponsored by the Warwick School of Engineering) is valued at GBP4,000. Both scholarships are one-off awards to be deducted from the winners’ academic fees for the first year of their studies at The University of Warwick in the academic year 2013/14.

We received overwhelming support for both scholarships this year with over 35 applications. Members of the screening panel met on 31st August 2013 to conduct screening of applications for the panel interview. The screening panel consisted of seven members who are Warwick graduates from a variety of disciplines and backgrounds, namely Steven Lo, Elaine Hung, Michael Yeung, Alvin Lam, Quiny Chan, Henry Wong and Katy Chiu.

The scholarship award presentation took place at the annual freshers’ dinner organised by the Warwick Hong Kong Public Affairs and Social Service Society on 21st September 2013. Each of the short-listed candidates was invited to the event and was awarded a certified letter issued by WGAHK as well as a HK$500 book voucher as a token of encouragement for their achievements.

Founded in 2001, the WGAHK Scholarship Fund marks its 12th Anniversary in 2013. It is the first Warwick scholarship established by local alumni associations outside the U.K. Taking this opportunity, I would like to express heartfelt gratitude to all donors who have contributed to the establishment of this meaningful scholarship, and to all WGAHK executive members and scholars who have assisted in the successful running of this year’s exercise.

If you would like to support the scholarship with donations, please write to us atscholarship@warwick.org.hk , or simply fill in an online donation form on the WGAHK website.
