Lingnan receives generous donation from Lam Kei On Memorial Trust to establish two named Chair Professorships

Lingnan University received a generous donation of HK$10 million from the Lam Kei On Memorial Trust to establish two named Chair Professorships at HK$5 million each in 2016/17. The chairs shall be named to honour Mr Lam Man Tsan and Mrs Lam Wong Yiu Wah respectively.  The generous donation will support scholars devoted in specific academic areas. The Trust’s tremendous support will help the University to score higher academic and research excellence.

In 2015/16, the Trust donated HK$10 million to establish the Mr Lam Man Tsan Memorial Fund which aims to support full-time undergraduate students who have financial difficulties and are the first generation in their families receiving a university education in Lingnan for more student exchange and internship opportunities.
