“Seeds of Good Deed” Project Award

This award was established in 2014/15 with an endowment from a former recipient of the Kunkle and Pommerenke Scholarship. It is about responsible citizenship, aiming to encourage Chung Chi students to proactively explore contemporary social issues, deepen their understanding of Hong Kong, its people, and their lives, and take meaningful action to make a difference in our city. Applicants have to submit their project reports and present them to an adjudication panel. They have to demonstrate creativity and the capability of articulating their thoughts. Based on the adjudication panel’s recommendations, the College will select the most representative award-winning projects. The awards are categorized into First, Second, and Third Prizes, each accompanied by a cash prize ranging from HK$3,000 to HK$10,000.
