Winnie Shiu, Assistant Manager Community Relations of The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited and Dr Chung Pak-kwong, Acting Chief Executive of the HKSI, presented scholarships to six students who performed remarkably well during the last academic year.

Organised by the Beijing Sport University (BSU) and administrated by the HKSI since its inception in 1999, the five-year part-time degree programme aims to provide coaches and athletes with an opportunity to obtain an academic qualification so as to extend their professional development in sport. The programme consists of 24 modules including Chinese language and writing, sports psychology, sports nutrition, sports biochemistry, statistics in sports, sports history, physical training, and management in sports. Students are required to choose a sport-specific elective among athletics, badminton, basketball, fencing, swimming, table tennis and wushu. The Hongkong Bank Foundation has been offering scholarships to students of the BSU Programme since 2000. The scholarship scheme for the Programme is one of the components of the Hong Kong Coach Education Programme (HKCEP) which the Foundation has committed over HK$13 million since 1992.
