On the Donor

In July 2025, Mr Timothy Gallie and Mrs Jill Gallie made an initial pledge to the Li Ka Shing Faculty of Medicine for the establishment of a Fellowship to benefit research postgraduate students who have a keen interest in the field of Neurosurgery.

Purpose and Scope

The Fellowship shall be awarded annually to a maximum of twenty full-time research postgraduate students (MPhil/PhD), including new and renewed awardees, at the Li Ka Shing Faculty of Medicine.

The Fellowship shall cover the following for each student per annum: 

(i) the departmental/supervisors' contribution to the postgraduate scholarships (PGS) in cases where the research postgraduate students are not fully funded by the University;

(ii) an award of a sum of HK$80,000 per year to cover expenses related to the students’ research and/or overseas training and conference.
