Life at HKU SPACE Our Stories

On 4 March 2026, HKU SPACE International College hosted its Scholarship-cum-Bursary Presentation Ceremony 2025/26 at the Admiralty Learning Centre to honour students for their outstanding academic achievements. 

Professor William K.M. Lee, Director of HKU SPACE, congratulated the recipients on their dedication and achievements, encouraging them to pursue excellence and contribute to society. He also expressed gratitude to the generous donors, including Professor William Leung, Chairman of the HKU SPACE Foundation Committee, and Mr Stephen Ngan from the HKU SPACE Art Collecting Alumni Association, before presenting the scholarships and bursaries to the students. 

Of special note, Ms Catharine Lam, a 2022 graduate of the Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Food and Nutrition programme, generously donated her graduation scholarship to establish the “Catharine Lam Graduation Scholarship” this year. She is the first graduate since the establishment of Graduation Scholarship in 2021 to return her scholarship, exemplifying the spirit of passing on the torch. 

Catharine shared that the scholarship she received three years ago was beneficial.  Realising she could now support younger students, she put forward to action and aimed to encourage them to embrace learning and build a solid foundation for their futures. 

Wrapping up the ceremony, Jiffhrey Muhammed Abu Thahir and Wong Hoi Lam, Sara delivered their Vote of Thanks on behalf of the recipients, expressing gratitude to the School Foundation and all donors for their support.
