“Pursuing Excellence and Beyond Award Scheme”, jointly organised by the Man Kwan Education Fund and the Fung Hon Chu Educational Trust, aims to support the learning and development of local gifted students and encourage them to pursue excellence and continuous improvement. It is to award the Hong Kong primary and secondary school students for their participation in different learning activities, so as to broaden their horizons, nurture outstanding talents for the local community and support the development of local education.
The scheme was first launched and satisfactorily completed in 2013 for primary and secondary school students in Kwun Tong / Sai Kung, Yuen Long / Tin Shui Wai. In 2014, the scheme further extended to all districts in Hong Kong, and is now held every two years for secondary students and primary students respectively. The programme assesses students’ development in four areas including leadership, creative thinking, talent and social commitment. Awarded students will be given a scholarship of $5,000 and will participate in a series of extended learning activities where they can share their learning experience with each other. The Selection Committee will also select three awardees to participate in local or overseas youth conferences, exchanges and activities to broaden the awardees horizons and promote their leadership development.

The Man Kwan Education Organisation, founded by Professor Tam Man Kwan and Ms. Yung Lai Chun, has been promoting education development in Hong Kong through school management, education seminars and training, organizing academic competitions and activities that help students grow. The “Man Kwan Education Fund” (hereinafter called the Fund) has established the “Tin Shui Wai Children” award scheme since 2007 in order to encourage more primary pupils in Tin Shui Wai/Yuen Long to establish goals and study hard, providing a platform to commend positive, optimistic and diligent students.

This year’s award program has four categories: “Outstanding Kids,” “Talented Kids,” “Self-strengthening Kids,” and “Innovative Kids.” The outstanding performances of students in each category will be evaluated by a panel of judges, and the most outstanding students will be awarded the relevant prizes.
Five students will be selected from each category, and each student will receive a scholarship of HKD 2,000*. They will also be able to participate in the Fund’s summer learning activities to enhance their leadership skills and broaden their horizons.
