Dorothy Collins Memorial Scholarship

On the Donor

In 2003, the late Ms Dorothy Ada Collins made a donation in support of scholarships to the Department of Chemistry. 

Ms Dorothy Ada Collins (1914-2002) had a long and distinguished career with HKU. She first joined the Department of Chemistry in 1948 as a Lecturer, and she also served as Warden of the Duchess of Kent Hall from 1961-75. After her retirement, she continued working voluntarily at HKU as an honorary research fellow from 1975-78, and as an honorary associate from 1978 until 2002.

Ms Collins' loyalty and devotion towards the University was demonstrated not only by over half a century of teaching, but also her bequest to the University's Department of Chemistry which enables the establishment of the Dorothy Collins Memorial Fund. 

Purpose and Scope

One new scholarship shall be awarded annually to a Chemistry major student entering the second year of the BSc curriculum who intends to remain as Chemistry major student in the third and fourth years, and maintains an overall GPA of 3.3 or above for each year of study.
