A total of 32

received for the
Scholarship. A screening
panel comprising of
WGAHK current & former
executive committee
members met on 3
September 2008 to
shortlist candidates
down to just 5.
Applicants were
evaluated with criteria
that include their
academic credentials,
extra-curricular
achievements, social
contribution and
personal statement.

year, members of the
Judge Panel include:- Mr.
Jon Baldwin, Registrar,

Miss Lisa Djeng, WGAHK
Scholarship Founding
Chairman and Dr. Red
Chan, Lecturer,

different questions,
sometimes rather
difficult questions, to
the short-listed
candidates.
Short-listed Candidates
were being evaluated by
their extra-curricular
achievements, social
contribution and
personal qualities &
aspirations. After some
tough time of
discussion, the Judge
Panel decided to award
the WGAHK 2008
Scholarship to Miss
Joyce Hoi-Hei Tsang.
On 13 September 2008,
Warwick Graduatesˇ¦
Association Hong Kong
and Warwick Hong Kong
Office jointly held a
reception for the
scholarship award
ceremony. All five
short-listed candidates
received a WGAHK
certificate and a HK$500
book coupon as a token
of encouragement. The
winner this year, Joyce
was then presented by
the founding chairman of
WGAHK, Mr. Terry Yeung
with a symbolic cheque
of HK$20,000.00 with the
actual scholarship award
being sent direct to her
account at the
University.
WGAHK would congratulate
all the applicants of
their excellent
achievements, and wish
every one of them to
have a rewarding time
studying at Warwick.
