On the Donor

The late Mr Mok Kon Sang (莫幹生), grandson of Mr Mok See Yeng (莫仕揚), the first comprador of the British firm Butterfield & Swire (Taikoo), was a generous benefactor of this University. In 1921, he donated the sum of $50,000, which at the time was a considerable amount of money. He was appointed a life member of the Court and established a scholarship which still exists today.

Since then, the Mok family has maintained its long-standing ties with the University. One of Mr Mok's sons, the late Dr Mok Hing Yiu (莫慶堯), was a dedicated alumnus of the University. The Dr Mok Hing Yiu Scholarship was set up in his memory by the Mok Hing Yiu Charitable Foundation in 2012.

Purpose and Scope

The Scholarship will be awarded to a Year 1 undergraduate student on the basis of academic merit.
