From Cambridge, Harvard to UC Berkeley: HA Students Take on the World

What do Para Cheng@HA4, Charis Kong@HA5, and Mike Hung@HA5 have in common?

They all spent their summer in 2025 living their academic dreams at some of the most prestigious universities in the world. And they did it with the support of the HK$50,000 Scholarship for World-Renowned Universities Summer Programme 2025.

Para walked the cobblestone paths of the University of Cambridge, where history whispers through every stone. Charis found herself in the heart of Harvard, surrounded by thinkers, dreamers, and coffee-fueled debates. Mike immersed himself in the energy and edge of UC Berkeley, where ideas spark changes and students speak up. 

Three HA Students, One Shared Spirit

These three trailblazers returned not just with credits and coursework. They returned with stories and a sense of global purpose, proving that HA students belong on the world stage.

They are the latest in a growing line of HA students who have received this prestigious scholarship. Each of them stood on the shoulders of past HA scholars.

Now, they’re the shoulders for you to stand on.

Your Turn. Your Summer. Your Story. 

If you’ve ever imagined what it might be like to study at Harvard, Berkeley, or Cambridge (or any other renowned universities in the future programmes), this is more than a dream. It’s a real, tangible opportunity, and it’s waiting for someone with the courage to try.

The HK$50,000 scholarship supports top students attending a summer programme at one of these world-class institutions. But more than money, it is a vote of confidence in your potential.

Ask Para. Ask Charis. Ask Mike.

They’ll tell you: it’s life-changing.

So, if you’re an HA student with a fire in your heart and a question on your mind: why not you?
