Founded in 1981 by Sir Dr David Li, The Friends of Cambridge University in Hong Kong (known as ‘The Friends’) has raised and managed a scholarship fund called The Prince Philip Scholarship and has been supporting numerous promising students from Hong Kong to study at Cambridge University since 1982. The Prince Philip Scholarship includes a non-means tested cash award of 2,500 pounds per annum. One Hong Kong-London economy class return air ticket will also be awarded free of means test results. Scholars may also claim, where necessary, the full costs of tuition and subsistence. In addition to the administration of the scholarship, The Friends also organise alumni social activities, mentorship program, secondary school program, charity, prominent alumni profile and more. Please refer to our two websites for more details.

Overview of the mentorship program

Permalink Categories: 01 Introduction

The Cambridge University alumni community in Hong Kong has grown to a considerable size. In order to consolidate our resources, build a strong community network and to continue the process of enlightening each other, we propose to create a mentorship program that will connect experienced alumni with the undergraduates and recent graduates of Cambridge University. Through a series of activities from drinks, dinners to a grand annual event, people can share their experience, advice with one another. Many local Hong Kong universities have similar programs that are welcome by the students and alumni alike. It is our belief that our Cambridge alumni community can greatly benefit from such scheme.
