HSBC supports students with scholarships

The HSBC Scholars Day 2023 acknowledged the achievements of more than 270 students from 20 local universities and higher education institutions this week.

Over the past 58 years, HSBC has facilitated the pursuits of nearly 7,000 students across various fields of study through diverse scholarship opportunities.

There are six flagship programs in Hong Kong: the HSBC Overseas Scholarship, HSBC Hong Kong Scholarship, the Innovation and Technology Scholarship, the HSBC Greater Bay Area (Hong Kong) Scholarship, the HSBC Social Work Scholarship and the HSBC Vocational Education Scholarship.

Luanne Lim, chief executive of HSBC Hong Kong, said during the event that Hong Kong's strong economic performance, despite limited natural resources, emphasizes the significance of nurturing and retaining local talent for future growth.

"We obviously want Hong Kong's best and brightest to join the financial sector. However, the real payback is in seeing how our amazingly diverse alumni contribute to the long-term well being of the wider community," she said.
