On the Donor

In September 2025, the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), pledged to establish a Scholarship aimed at supporting MBBS students engaged in enrichment activities that enhance their professional development and global exposure. The Scholarship is named in honour of former Chairman Dr Peter K N Lam, who entrusted HKTDC with a dedicated fund for the purpose of supporting education and development initiatives. It also serves as a commemorative legacy, coinciding with HKUMed’s upcoming 140th anniversary celebrations from 2026 to 2027.

Purpose and Scope

The Scholarship shall be awarded annually to full-time MBBS students participating in overseas learning activities including but not limited to intercalated degrees, clinical attachments and research attachments as duly approved by the Medical Faculty.

Up to five scholarships, each in the range of HK$10,000 to HK$100,000 shall be made each year. The exact value of each scholarship and number of scholarships shall be determined by a Selection Committee on the basis of academic merit, activity location/duration, and financial need. Preference shall be given to students engaged in learning activities at the University of Cambridge or other institutions in the UK.

The Scholarship cannot be held concurrently with other merit-based enrichment scholarships administered by the University for the same activity. The Scholarship may be held concurrently with non-merit-based financial aids.
