Seven CUHK students from the Faculties of Medicine and Science were ranked among the 25 awardees of the Innovation and Technology Scholarship presented on 25 April. The number of CUHK awardees accounts for the largest among the participating universities. The scholarship scheme is organized by the Hong Kong Federation of Youth Groups, with the sponsorship of HSBC and support of the Innovation and Technology Commission. Each awardee will be granted up to HK$150,000.

With an aim to encourage students to develop their lifelong career in science and technology, the Scheme recognizes outstanding undergraduates in the science, medicine and engineering fields, and offers them various learning opportunities through overseas/mainland attachment, mentorship, service project and local internship programmes.
