We’re excited to share a few inspiring stories showing the real impact of alumni giving:
LEFT: 🇳🇬 Nigeria Alumni Ayeni Semiat Ayomide (‘24 BASc Interdisciplinary Studies)
“Studying at HKU was intensive, but the opportunities are incredible! Many students from my background can’t afford to study abroad. Thanks to Hon Ping Entrance Scholarship for Nigerian Students, it was a stepping stone to see beyond my world!”
After graduation, Semiat stayed in Hong Kong to give back, sharing her experiences, supporting fellow students, and contributing to the community that welcomed her.
RIGHT: 🧪Science Alumni Owen Wong (‘24 BASc Applied AI)
”I spent my summer in Iceland as a research intern, applying AI to marine classification and studying refugee survivability—a unique experience that perfectly concluded my exchange journey.“
With support from the HKU Foundation Entrance Scholarship and HKU Worldwide Undergraduate Student Exchange Scholarships, Owen’s dream of using AI in his studies and exploring Iceland came true. Now, he’s turning his passion into a career, leading research on AI investment opportunities.
Your donations empower students to pursue their dreams and create meaningful changes in their lives. Be the spark and support HKU students!
