The SHKP-Kwoks' Foundation has always spared no effort in caring for the less fortunate, which includes providing financial assistance to talented underprivileged students so they can pursue their studies, combat poverty and give back to society. To achieve this end, the Foundation established a scholarship programme at Tongji University in 2006 to help outstanding students with limited financial means complete their four-year university studies. To date, the programme has benefited nearly 1,600 students, most of them have achieved excellent academic results and secured desirable jobs. Because of the outstanding academic credentials, over half of the beneficiaries have continued their studies in master’s degrees or doctor of philosophy degrees on the Mainland, or received scholarships from renowned universities abroad.
SHKP-Kwoks' Foundation Executive Director Amy Kwok and Tongji University Party Committee Secretary Fang Shou'en previously signed an agreement for the second phase of the scholarship programme. In an effort to further encourage scholarship students to achieve even better grades and get involved in social practice campaign, a newly added grant will also be awarded.
