Towy Lisle Scholarship

On the Donor

In August 2022, a pledge of donation was made by Towy Lisle Incorporated via HSBC Global Private Banking (HSBC GPB) to set up a scholarship to support non-native Chinese speaking local students with good academic performance and financial difficulties. The Scholarship aims to show its commitment to the promotion of equal learning opportunities among students, whatever their ethnicity, cultural and family backgrounds.

• for the academic year 2023-24 and thereafter, as shown in the prevailing public examinations for admission to the University,
