The “Ho & Ho Foundation Scholars Tea Gathering” was held on Saturday, 25 February 2017 at The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK). Miss Yvonne Chan, Chairman of the Ho & Ho Foundation, family members of the Foundation, Professor Wong Suk-ying, Associate Vice-President and Director of Admissions and Financial Aid of CUHK, and over 20 Ho & Ho Foundation Scholars and representatives from CUHK, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) and The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (UST) attended this joyful event.

In her welcoming address, Professor Wong expressed her sincere gratitude to the Ho & Ho Foundation for their staunch support towards higher education in Hong Kong. She also encouraged all Ho & Ho Foundation Scholars to seize this valuable opportunity to exchange ideas with our guests and fellow students. ‘I hope all of you will endeavour to pursue academic excellence, and give back to your alma mater and the society in the future,’ said Professor Wong.

Established by Mr Ho Ming-sze in 2004, the Ho & Ho Foundation aims to support students from the “Red Triangle Region” of China (i.e. Shaoguan in Guangdong, Ganzhou in Jiangxi, and Chenzhou in Hunan) to pursue higher education in Hong Kong. In 2012, the Foundation generously donated to CUHK, PolyU and UST for setting up the “Ho & Ho Foundation Scholarship” which supports students from the “Red Triangle Region” to pursue tertiary education in the three institutions.
