112 students of The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) have been awarded the Link University Scholarship 2019/20 (Link Scholarship) in recognition of their outstanding achievements in academic studies and community service. A total of 190 undergraduates was selected from eight local tertiary institutions for the Scholarship this year, representing close to 60% are from CUHK. The CUHK recipients not only excel in their studies, but also demonstrate strong leadership and presentation and communication skills by which they stood out among the nearly 800 applicants. CUHK is pleased with and encouraged by this record result.

Another scholarship recipient, Lucien Chiu, Year 3 student in Chinese language and Literature, also comes from a grassroots family. She had always dreamed of getting into a university to improve her family’s living conditions. She said, “I still remember the difficult time in secondary school learning English with very limited financial support. Knowing that students who are from humble background often lack learning resources and support, I signed up as a volunteer tutor in an NGO after entering university, to provide free tutorial service to those students in need.” Lucien has dreamed of being an author since her childhood. To promote literature on campus and in the community, Lucien is not only an assistant editor of a student association’s publication in the University, but also committed to organising literature activities for the public. She has been very much encouraged by receiving the Link Scholarship which will support her to further study for a master’s degree without adding financial burden on her family.
