The Fung Scholars Program/ Fung Scholars & Fung Fellows
The Fung Scholars Program was established in 2006 to commemorate the centenary of the Fung Group. The Program supports university students to experience learning, communicating, and networking outside their own culture through overseas exchange programs to different countries. The recipients of the scholarships are called the Fung Scholars (or Fung Fellows for the post-graduates). Fung Scholars and Fung Fellows are chosen based on academic excellence and leadership potential. The Fung Scholars Program is currently established at 33 universities worldwide with 7,000+ Fung Scholars and Fung Fellows. To maintain and energize the network of Fung Scholars and Fung Fellows, the Foundation organizes an annual Leadership Conference.
