Aiming to relieve students’ financial burden and foster their personal growth, the Foundation established “The D. H. Chen Foundation Scholarship Program” in 2015 to award a maximum of twenty outstanding undergraduate students from four local universities annually.  This academic year, six outstanding CUHK students are honoured to receive the Scholarship. Carrying the prestigious title of “The D. H. Chen Foundation Scholars”, all scholarship recipients achieved excellent academic performances and took active role in social services.  Scholars are offered a wide range of activities by the Foundation to broaden their social exposure, including social services, mentorship programme, annual reception and roundtable meetings, so as to contribute to the society in the future.
