Bachelor of Actuarial Science, HKU |
| It seems like yesterday that I stepped into university. I have devoted myself to my studies and students’ activities in the past three years. Actuarial Studies, students’ associations, sports teams, hall life and exchange composed my time in HKU. I found countless friends through all those experiences. I was really glad to be one of the winners of the PLKFCC scholarship. It offered me not only financial but also spiritual back-up, so that I could concentrate on university life. The scholarship organizing committee also gave us courses, internships and a different exposure to the world. Without these, I am sure I could not have gotten so far. I would like to take this opportunity to give Po Leung Kuk and FCC my sincerest thanks. I will start my new job in January 2007, as a Management Trainee in a bank. I still remember that the title of the article that I wrote for applying for the FCC scholarship three years ago was “I Want to Be a Businessman”. As the job is an Asian regional institution, I will be working in different countries in Asia in the coming four years. I am looking forward to all the challenges and opportunities coming ahead. |

Fung Ka Yan, Mandy
Bachelor of Social Sciences
(Government and Law)
Bachelor of Law, HKU |
| In June 2006, I completed my first degree, Bachelor of Social Sciences (Government and Laws), and as part of my double degree programme, I am now pursuing my second degree, Bachelor of Law. The qualification of a law degree is an essential step to realize my dream. I am so lucky that this year I was awarded the FCC-PLK Scholarship again, subsidizing me for the remaining 2 years of legal study. With this Scholarship I have been able to participate actively in all kinds of extra-curricular activities and take language courses in my leisure time, and was able to join the University’s overseas exchange programme, and spend time at the National University of Singapore, which I had never dreamed of. And these are just the advantages the Scholarship has offered me in university. In the summer vacation in 2004 and 2006, I was even granted an internship with a leading international law firm, Orrick and Coudert, thus having allowed me to put my learning into practice. Besides, FCC constantly expressed their warm affection and concern to every one of us. Once again, may I take this opportunity to thank FCC and PLK to provide to us not only financial assistances but also many other precious chances. We are all lucky to be chosen for the Scholarship. |

| Hi everyone, it is great to share my recent life with you. I have been working in Maunsell AECOM for five months since my graduation, involved in the Ocean Park Redevelopment. In the past few months, I learn much more about how a project goes from preliminary design to tender and construction. I enjoy being with my colleagues under the friendly working environment in my company. We go to play basketball or football sometimes after work. Also the Intra-Company Basketball Matches were organized last month, we all had great fun at the matches. I and other graduates also prepared the Christmas Party for our company. |

Bachelor of Law, HKU |
| I give my deepest thanks to the FCC and Po Leung Kuk. Being one of the first batch of awardees of the scholarship, I finished my law degree in the University of Hong Kong without facing financial hardship. It also brought me a fruitful university life. I participated in the University’s Lacrosse Team and Cantonese Debating Team. I am now working at the NOW Business News Channel as an anchor / reporter. My main duty is to report news on television, so don’t feel too surprised if you see me reporting news when you turn on the NOW TV and switch to Channel 333. In other words, I am working in the mass media industry, which is related to the FCC! However, to pursue my dream career of being a barrister, I will probably continue to study. All the best to the fellow awardees! |

| Thank God it is now my fourth year in the medical school in the University of Hong Kong. I have been receiving the FCC scholarship for four years. It is a great privilege for me to receive the scholarship and I’m really thankful to both Foreign Correspondents’ Club, Hong Kong and Po Leung Kuk. They are constantly giving me support, not only financially but also a lot of opportunities and encouragement. Life in the medical school is tough, challenging and at the same time rewarding and full of fun. Starting from the third year, we had much more clinical exposure. We met patients and interacted with them, which widened my scope in different clinical problems, and it was fun tackling them by applying the knowledge we accumulated from the beginning. Outside classes, in February 2006, some of my classmates and I organized an anti-smoking campaign. We initiated a cycling-procession in Shatin to urge the government to impose a smoking ban in all public area. This past summer I had a chance to attend a panel on child welfare in the Legislative Council. My colleagues and I wrote a review paper on child neglect and I reported our findings during the meeting and gave relevant suggestions. I hoped to serve the community by going into this profession, and I can see I’m on the right track. I’m learning to give my best always. |

Bachelor of Business Administration (Finance), CUHK |
| Three years of study have passed. Thanks to the Foreign Correspondent’s Club Scholarship, I could have those enjoyable and fruitful years. In these years, while I enjoyed the university life, I also developed myself in different aspects. During the summer, to improve my English, I participated in a Summer Exchange Programme at the University of Edinburgh, and I had the chance to visit Shanghai, for a China Development Programme. These experiences widened my horizons and trained me up to become more independent. Upon graduation in 2006, I joined the workforce in Hong Kong. It’s my pleasure to work for Fortis Bank again, after my summer internship in 2004. I work as a Human Resources Officer, in a regional project team. My responsibilities are compensation & benefits, performance appraisal and system management etc. Thanks FCC and PLK for giving me these precious years. In the coming years, I will take every opportunity to learn and to make myself well-rounded person. |
