The foundation pledges HK$15 million worth of support to the scholarship programme for five years from 2005. Six mainland students each year would be awarded with around HK$500,000, covering all tuition, accommodation and living expenses for four years. Foundation chairman Mr. Walter Kwok and CUHK Vice-Chancellor Prof. Lawrence J. Lau attended the signing ceremony on 16November to announce the latest scholarships and meet with past scholarship recipients. Mr. Kwok hoped that scholarship recipients wouldmake full use of their stay at CUHK and contribute to the country’s development after graduation. Prof. Lawrence J. Lau thanked the foundation for its generosity. The six scholarship recipients this year are among the top 30 achievers in national public exams in their respective provinces. They are also keen participants of extra-curricular activities. Altogether they have brought the number of beneficiaries to 18 since the inception of the scholarship programme in 2005. Student Li Li, representative of the scholarship recipients, expressed thanks to the foundation for its support. The Year 2 quantitative finance student said, ‘My family makes very little money, and without the scholarship I simply would not be able to afford university. The money helps the less well-off and it is also an encouragement.’ Li Li came from Fujian. He hopes to work in Hong Kong after graduation to gain experience that will enable him to contribute to his homeland. 內地師生中大喜相逢 Mainland Educators Meet Mainland Students on CUHK Campus 兩個多月可有回家？」「你看來胖了！」 問安的話來得簡單卻真摯。四十多名內地 重點中學及招生辦公室的代表，於11月23日造訪中 大。校方特安排六十多名內地生與眾師長一聚；大家 久別重逢，親切問候，暢談近況，氣氛溫馨熱鬧。 代表團由來自內地15個省市的31所重點中學及五個招 生辦公室組成，此行由入學及學生資助處安排，目 的主要是讓國內有關單位更了解中大的教學理念、學 制、環境和收生要求。來訪學校包括廣東實驗中學、 四川成都第七中學、遼寧省實驗中學、重慶南開中學 等，五個招生辦公室所屬省份–黑龍江、吉林、河 北、山西及安徽–則在2007年始納入中大的招生範 圍。 當天程序包括招生事務、書院及各學院的簡介，參觀 衛星遙感地面接收站及遊覽校園。代表團十分關心 內地生在中大就讀的適應問題、入學要求及獎學金安 排，此外，他們最感雀躍的要算與在中大就讀的內地 生會晤了。 The purpose of the one-day visit, organized by the Office of Admissions and Financial Aid, was to familiarize the delegation with the University’s vision and mission, features of education, admissions policy and requirements.
