Golden Jubilee Scholarship

The Mon Sheong Golden Jubilee Scholarship was created to commemorate our 50th anniversary. It is presented annually to students who demonstrate well-rounded excellence and desire to make real change—whether in their communities or around the world.

Our Awards Committee, a panel of current and former professors, evaluates and considers applicants based on their academic standing, voluntary community involvement, leadership, character, and aspirations to make a difference. We are proud to support such exemplary students by empowering them to reach their full potential.

Update 1: Thanks to some generous donations, we are pleased to offer 6 scholarships this year. (Previously we had announced that 2 awards would be available.)

Update 2: The deadline to apply for the 2017 Golden Jubilee Scholarship has now passed. Good luck to all our applicants!
