The Club has long been committed to nurturing talent, funding various projects to cultivate a favourable learning environment for students to explore different pathways. In addition to granting scholarships to undergraduate and postgraduate students, those with special education needs and those engaged in vocational education, it has been supporting other programmes promoting coding education, Chinese learning by ethnic minorities and the development of social workers and teachers.
