The University of Toronto (Hong Kong) Foundation is a registered charity, led by a dedicated group of University of Toronto alumni and friends, who share a commitment to giving Hong Kong students with financial need the opportunity to study at Canada’s leading research university.

Mission
The University of Toronto (Hong Kong) Foundation advances the interests of the University of Toronto and of Hong Kong by soliciting and receipting donations for scholarships, enabling students from Hong Kong with financial need to attend the University of Toronto. The Foundation focuses on attracting donations from alumni, friends and parents of students in Hong Kong. A sub-committee of the Foundation assists the University in selecting the scholarship recipients.

History

Ho, Deputy Managing Director of Shun Tak Holdings Limited.
