Our business students have consistently demonstrated exceptional academic, extracurricular, and leadership performance!
Thanks to the generous support of the AS Watson Group, the world’s largest international health and beauty retailer, the AS Watson Scholarship has been established at HKUST. The scholarship is designed to recognize and reward students who have demonstrated excellence in their academic performance, extracurricular involvement (e.g. sports, music), and leadership capabilities.
In the initial round of scholarship awards, a total of ten business students from various majors were chosen to receive all the available scholarships. They are:
- Rachel TANG Wai-Ying (Year 3, Global Business)
- Afrah BATHIUDEEN (Year 3, Global Business)
- Simon SIN Cheuk-Kwan (Year 3, Global Business)
- Jessica LAM Yuet-Tung (Year 3, Finance)
- David GAO Wai-Shing (Year 4, Information Systems)
- Jasper WONG Cheuk-Hei (Year 3, Management)
- Ismet OZER (Year 4, Global Business)
- Claire NG Man-Sze (Year 3, Finance)
- LO Hoi-Yi (Year 4, Operations Management)
- Adhya BANSAL (Year 4, Global Business)
We are grateful to Dr. Malina NGAI, Group CEO of AS Watson Group, for officiating the awards ceremony and sharing her personal scholarship journey, and how scholarships have boosted the confidence she needed to pursue her passion in life.
This partnership will provide the students with a range of opportunities, including internships in various departments within AS Watson Group. This will enable them to gain a deeper understanding of retail operations and apply their academic knowledge in a practical context, thereby broadening their professional horizons.
HKUST and the Business School are committed to fostering the growth and development of our students by establishing a supportive environment that motivates and empowers them to achieve their full potential. We are delighted to partner with AS Watson Group, a company that shares our dedication to the holistic development of students.
