HKUAAO Scholarship for Student Exchange
In commemoration of the 100th anniversary of our Alma Mater, we are looking into the establishment of a scholarship fund to encourage worthy HKU students to join exchange programs in Ontario universities to broaden their learning experience.
Our target is to raise HK$200,000 (about CAD $26,000 at current exchange rate) and to get a matching amount from the Hong Kong Government grant to yield a pool of HK$ 400,000. This will provide 2 scholarships of HK$12,000 annually for an estimated duration of 15 years. Details of the proposed scholarship are described on the
sheet attached.

HKU Mentorship Program
The HKU Mentorship Programme was established in 1997. Not only was it the first such program in Hong Kong’s institutions of higher education, it was so successful that it had also become an exemplar of similar programs.
HKUAAO is a strong supporter of the HKU’s Mentorship Programme. For over 10 years, many of our alumni have volunteered to act as mentors to HKU exchange students (“mentees”) who came to Canadian universities in Ontario and Quebec for one or two semesters under the HKU Worldwide Student Exchange Programme.
Often this may be the first time that the students are far away from home. Mentors can provide invaluable assistance to the mentees in helping them quickly settle down and adapt to their new environment. Over time, mentors and their mentees establish a unique relationship through which mentors will help provide guidance to enhance their mentee’s development and at the same time gain insights into the younger generations’ points of view. Through participation in the Mentorship Programme, mentors can maintain contact with academia and have the satisfaction of knowing that they are playing a role in the development of young inquisitive minds.
Anyone who is interested in becoming a mentor please email Dr. K.F. Siu at drsiukingfun@yahoo.ca or Tim Cheng at tc@timcheng-ca.com.
