Shum Wai Yau Journalism Scholarship
岑維休新聞獎學金

On the Donor

The descendants of the late Mr Shum Wai-Yau donated a sum to the Journalism and Media Studies Centre (JMSC) of The University of Hong Kong to establish the “Shum Wai Yau Journalism Education Fund” (岑維休新聞教育基金) to support further education of future journalists and media professionals.

In 2024, a donation was received from the estate of Mrs. Lee Shum Shuk Yuen for the “Shum Wai Yau Journalism Education Fund”. The investment income generated each year from the Fund will go towards the Scholarship.
