Towy Lisle Scholarship
On the Donor
In August 2022, a donation pledge was made by Towy Lisle Incorporated (“the Donor”) via HSBC Global Private Banking to establish the Towy Lisle Scholarship. The Scholarship aims to support non-native Chinese speaking local students with good academic performance and financial difficulties, thereby demonstrating a commitment to promoting equal learning opportunities for students, regardless of their ethnicity, cultural or family backgrounds. In May 2026, the Donor pledged a further sum to continue the Scholarship for another cycle.
