I was pleased to learn from the Faculty of Law that HKU Law Alumni Charity Limited has donated HK$424,212.36 for the setting up of The University of Hong Kong Law Alumni Association Scholarship, and further HK$50,000 for the Faculty’s use. The gift will be submitted for matching from the Government Matching Grant Scheme and the Stanley Ho Alumni Challenge as appropriate.

 

We are so grateful for our law alumni’s support of the Faculty and for their generosity, which reflects their trust in the legal education that HKU provides. Their gift will help us to expand opportunities for our students and will have a long-lasting impact on the lives of future generations of legal professionals. Please convey our thanks to your members.

 

I would also like to take this opportunity to welcome HKU Law Alumni Charity Limited as a Voting Member of the HKU Foundation.
