Outstanding Ethnic Minority Student Award Scheme 2025

Ethnic minority students may encounter more learning challenges comparing to their Chinese counterparts due to cultural differences, language barriers and life adaptations and transitions in Hong Kong. While students strive to progress in various aspects, limited recognition has been available for their efforts paid. In view of that, LINK Centre is going to organise the Outstanding Ethnic Minority Student Award Scheme, appreciating the excellent achievements of Hong Kong’s outstanding ethnic minority students. We received more than 300 nominations for the “Outstanding Ethnic Minority Student Award Scheme 2024” and were pleased to award 10 primary and 10 secondary school winners. Due to the overwhelming response to the Student Award Scheme 2024, we are going to organise the scheme again this year to appreciate the students’ outstanding achievements. 10 primary and 10 secondary school students achieving outstanding performances in various aspects will be selected for this Award. The Scheme aims to recognise outstanding ethnic minority students, to encourage their efforts in school learning and in overcoming challenges and social integration, as well as to build up a positive image among ethnic minorities in Hong Kong.



Objectives

  • To recognize outstanding ethnic minority students who have excellent achievements.
  • To enhance ethnic minorities’ motivation in school learning and social integration.
  • To promote a positive attitude towards overcoming challenges among ethnic minorities in Hong Kong.

Eligibility
The scheme is only open for school nominations. All ethnic minorities (non-Chinese residents) who are studying in primary / secondary school, and have the right of abode in Hong Kong can be nominated for this Award by school principals and teachers.
