HKBU receives donation from Hong Kong Shin Yat Tong Moral Association to set up two scholarships

16 July 2026


Hong Kong Shin Yat Tong Moral Association has pledged to establish two annual scholarships at Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU), and an initial donation of HK$200,000 was made recently.  

Of the total donation, HK$120,000 will be used to set up the “Hong Kong Shin Yat Tong Moral Association First-Generation Student Scholarship”. For the academic year 2026-2027, this scholarship will award HK$15,000 each to eight local undergraduate students who are the first in their families to attend university. The support will enable these students to fully engage in diverse learning activities that broaden their horizons and promote their holistic development.  

The remaining HK$80,000 will fund the “Hong Kong Shin Yat Tong Moral Association Outstanding Student Scholarship”. For the academic year 2026-2027, this scholarship will provide an annual award of HK$20,000 each to four high-achieving undergraduate students in Year 2 or above. It will recognise students who also demonstrate outstanding performance in non-academic areas, such as extracurricular activities or voluntary services, encouraging them to continue their pursuit of excellence and service to the community.   

Hong Kong Shin Yat Tong Moral Association is a charitable organisation dedicated to promoting Confucian thought, moral education, and philanthropic initiatives. The Association is currently recognised as Director of the HKBU Foundation.
