The Chinese University of Hong Kong has received a donation of HK$50 million from the Lee Shau Kee Foundation, founded by Dr. Lee Shau Kee, Chairman and Managing Director of Henderson Land Development Co. Ltd. The donation will be allocated to support CUHK's pursuit of academic excellence and the establishment of scholarships to nurture talents.

As Dr. Lee Shau Kee believed that the University has accomplished much in the past, he has funded scholarships and sponsored many academic development projects of the University over the years. A Member of the Advisory Board of the MBA Programmes since 1977, and a Member of the Board of Trustees of United College since 1988, he helped found the MBA Programme at its most initial stage. In 1991, he and Dr. Cheng Yu Tung jointly donated US$6 million to support the CUHK-Yale South China Studies Programme. Conferred to the degree of Doctor of Social Science honoris causa by the University in 2003, Dr. Lee was also made an Honorary Fellow of the Chinese University in 2002. With the current donation, he hoped to bring further advancement to CU campus.
