2026 Prince Philip Scholarship Presentation Ceremony

The 2026 Prince Philip Scholarship Presentation Ceremony was held on Wednesday 9th September 2026. Four of the six students awarded the scholarship this year collected their awards personally.

Event Highlights

Professor Stuart Martin, Chairman of the Prince Philip Scholarship Selection Committee, Executive Committee Members of the Friends of Cambridge University in Hong Kong, former scholars, friends and supporters of the Scholarship met with the new scholars and their families at a reception hosted by Sir David K. P. Li at the Hong Kong Club.

Former Prince Philip Scholar and Governing Body Fellow of Hughes Hall Cambridge, Dr Jimmy Chan, travelled from Cambridge to present the new scholars with their awards. In his short but heartwarming speech Dr Chan pointed out that Cambridge offered much more than a place to obtain a good degree. He therefore encouraged the new scholars to make good use of their three years to strive for independence, widen their horizons and to prepare for the future.

In their acceptance speeches, all the scholarship recipients expressed gratitude to their parents for their unwavering support and shared some of their hopes and aspirations for the next three years.
