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 platform 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.
