HKBU Alumni Gratitude Scholarship (AGS)

It is my honour to receive the HKBU Alumni Gratitude Scholarship, and I am grateful to the alumni donors for this incredible support. Your generosity helped me to get through financial difficulties in university life such as buying a new digital device and paying a part of the tuition fee.

With the support of this scholarship, I was able to purchase an iPad keyboard, significantly enhancing the quality of my studies. I now enjoy researching more comfortably and efficiently, thanks to the ease of typing rather than tapping on a screen. Beyond academics, the relief from tuition stress has made me more effective in my studies and even helped me enter a flow state more easily while playing the piano.

Although I took pleasure in studying, there were times that I had no motivation. I was afraid of poor performance in assignments and presentations.   (... more)

The scholarship has allowed me to access essential resources, including therapy sessions, medication, and academic support tools such as tutoring and assistive technology. For example, I can have a consultation with Clinical Therapy when I need help more frequently and having medical serving in private clinic for better and shorter follow-up consultation. Additionally, the financial relief reduced my stress about tuition fees, allowing me to focus more on my studies.

With this support, I believe that my academic performance has improved so how and is on the right track. This semester, my attendance rate increased compare with last semester because I felt more motivated, and I hope this can also help me increasing my GPA.
