The Roy To Community Service Award was established in June 2008 in memory of Mr. Roy To, an HKUST graduate who passed away in a traffic accident during a service trip to Inner Mongolia organized by the World Emergency Relief. 

 

Launched in March 2012, the Alumni Endowment Fund (AEF) has received immense support from our alumni. A group of alumni who had rewarding experiences in servicing fellow students, the University and/or the community during their student lives would like to encourage more students to get involved and care about society and the people around them. Therefore, they have made donations to the AEF and wish to utlize the interest income from the fund to recognize students who have demonstrated strong commitment and leadership in volunteer services and have made significant contributions to the community with proven track records.​

Aim
The award aims to recognize HKUST students with an exceptional contribution to community service.

 

Eligibility
Full-time UG and PG students with a proven track record of active and continuous participation in community service.

 

The award will be presented every year to the HKUST student who best exemplifies the service spirit for which the late Mr. Roy To is remembered. A cash award of $5,000 and a medal will be presented to the awardee.

 

The award will be presented to a maximum of five HKUST students who have shown continuous devotion in volunteer services with proven leadership and organizational ability. A cash award of $5,000 will be presented to each awardee.
