The United College Scholarships encompass a wide range of fields, including academics, sports, art, and social service. The College is renowned for sponsoring student to join non-local exchange activities, thereby broadening their global perspectives and enriching their educational experiences in support with the GOAL Programme Scholarship. In alignment with this year’s ceremony theme, “UC Scholarships – Broaden Global Horizons”, three awardees of GOAL Programme scholarships were invited to share the experiences through short video.
Following the ceremony, the College hosted a dinner banquet, bringing together donors and student awardees. It served as a platform for interaction and sharing, allowing students to gain valuable insights and experiences from the generous donors.
Donors and awardees had a casual chat before the dinner.
