Chan Hing Lin, Vicky
Associate of Arts in Translation & Interpretation/Bachelor of Arts in Eng for International Corporate Communication, Community College of City University
I first received this scholarship as a freshman and I am now in the final year of my undergraduate course. During my life in university, with the help of the scholarship, I can fully devote myself to studying and participate in various activities to broaden my horizon. The FCC also assisted me in finding internship programs in my summer breaks. Hence, I have the opportunities to work in different fields (working at the airport as customer service officer in 2005 and being an intern in a PR company in 2006), which make me more equipped for my future. Moreover, I have gained a whole lot of self-confidence and motivation to strive for my future and I hope such spirit will never grow faint.
Leung Sze Nga, Polly
Bachelor of Journalism and Communication, CUHK
It is so hard to believe that it has been three fascinating years since I entered University. I have wanted to be a journalist since secondary school, and I fulfilled my dream by studying the school of journalism and communication in CUHK. My department offered me the chance to be the reporter and editor of the department magazine called “Varsity”. I also developed a keen interest in the field of public relations, so I chose to be an intern at Burson Marsteller over my second summer holiday. My time at university has given me a chance to experience many things outside the university. I joined an environmental conservation volunteer programme in which volunteers from other countries and I discussed and carried out plans to conserve the environment in Australia. I cut down harmful trees in Australia and picked up rubbish. Though I have still not decided to be a journalist or public relation officer, I can still see a bright beginning in my career path.
Lau So Ling, Ripple
Professional Programme of Medicine, CUHK
I think I am so lucky that for three years I have received the FCC scholarship. The scholarship helped me a lot financially, and relieved the pressure on me as I am in my third year of studying medicine. The scholarship has meant that I am not a financial burden for my family. Thank you so much! If I were not offered the scholarship, I could not enjoy the wonderful hall life with my schoolmates, which gives me the energy for my busy medical student life, and I would not be able to help my family. Since I do not have to take a job, I can spare time to be used for my study, and on extra-curricular activities, e.g. playing sports, doing voluntary services, making my life to be more diverse.
Wan Nge Lee, Harly
Bachelor of Business Administration (Accounting & Finance), HKU
This academic year is my last year in studying for a Bachelor of Business Administrative in the University of Hong Kong. Moreover, I participate in a new ball team where I gain a sense of achievement. I have met a lot of friends in school and have many great memories. To look back on the last two years of my university life, what I gained is not only knowledge, but also I met a lot of good friends. I really cherish the valuable experience gained from studying in the University of Hong Kong.
Lam Ho Yin, Derek
BBA in Insurance, Finance & Actuarial Analysis, CUHK
FCC has been helping me for two years. It is undoubtedly true that this scholarship has helped me a lot. It not only gives me an honor but also concrete financial aid. I must hereby say a thank you to FCC. I am in my third year of study with a half-year internship at AXA during the first semester. During that half year, I have learnt much about what a professional actuary is. Besides, in this working period, I took my SOA examination and I am now waiting for the exam results. This experience assists my planning of my future career. Now I am heading to US for my exchange period. I need to say the FCC scholarship has helped me a lot as I plan for my exchange. University is not just a place for gaining academic knowledge but also a place to learn to be an all-round person. The exchange program, one of the activities that I joined, is undoubtedly the best activity that can fulfill my target. I am looking forward to the coming half-year and hope I can share my experiences with you when I am back.
Wong Yin Shan, Sandy
Bachelor of Business Administration (Accounting), HKUST
The FCC & PLK Scholarship marked a new page in my life. After receiving the scholarship, I could enjoy and enrich my school life freely without worry about my financial matters. I am the President of Kappa Psi Chapter of the HKUST (2006-2007), Beta Alpha Psi, which is a professional accounting bodies established in the USA. Also, I was the External Vice President of the Students’ Badminton organization. In my leisure time, I take courses outside school. Last summer I took a canoe course and I am qualified to take canoeing trips by myself. In 2005, I took 3 French courses from Alliance Française and I learnt basic conversational French and grammar. Thanks to the help from FCC and PLK, in 2005, I worked in the Official Receiver’s Office. To gain extra working experience, in 2006, I worked as Summer Intern in Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, one of the big four accounting firms and now I understand more about the accounting industry, which will help me to decide my career path. Moreover, I treasure the activities that FCC and PLK organized for us. Press conferences, interview workshops, table manner seminars, etc., broaden our horizon and hone our communication skill. Moreover, we were invited to join the FCC Annual Ball. In that great event, I met numerous people from different industries. I would like to take this opportunity to thank FCC and PLK for giving me all these, both the cash award and all these experience.
Man Ka Ming, Dickson
Bachelor of Economics & Finance, HKU
Time flies. It is now my third year in the University now. Life for final year student is never an easy one. Workload in school is getting heavier and heavier, while at the same time we need to fight for our future career – numerous recruitment activities and interviews. Apart from all these, I also take a part-time intern position to expose myself to different industries and to get more work experience. I believe that practical experience will help us understand more about the society and utilize my knowledge. As all the students prepare for our graduation, I start to realize that it will be our final months in University, perhaps the very last months for having the privilege being a student. I will enjoy the rest of my university life and also work hard for my future career.
Cheung Suk Fun, Helen
Bachelor of Social Work, CUHK
Hi, I am Helen Cheung who was a scholarship winner in 2004. After I won the FCC/PLK scholarship, I could spend more time on volunteer work and pursue an adventure course, which could equip me for future challenges. After I graduated from the Social Work faculty in the Chinese University of Hong Kong, I became a social worker in Lutheran Sun Chui Youth Center and the school social worker in Carmel Alison Lam Primary School. In these positions, I led different groups and programmes for children who are in need. At the moment, I am a residential worker in Caritas Pelletier Hall, to counsel and help vulnerable adolescents.
Chung Chuk Wah, Rachel
Bachelor of Social Sciences LU
During the year, I enjoyed my study life in Lingnan and I took the opportunity to follow Lingnan’s motto of “Education for Service”, by engaging in various service projects. At the Fu Tai Housing Estate near my campus, we help provide support to minority families to help them fit into the local community. A number of activities are organized by the Lingnan Hostel B Social Service Group. Also, we spent several weeks in the summer teaching English to children in Ching Yuen on the mainland, in addition to donating stationery items to them. We also help to organize community events and carnivals, or providing after-class tuition to the children. Through community work, I have a real-life opportunity to apply my knowledge and skills, and to experience personal growth and fulfillment. I gain a sense of social responsibility, learn about different walks of life, hone my organizational and management skills, and develop better communication skills. Through exposure to the less privileged, I also learn to be grateful for what I have, thus becoming more willing to work towards my goals.
