The four new awardees are: Mr. MOK Pak Fan (triathlon), Mr. WONG Pak Yiu (triathlon), Miss HO Kin Yiu (volleyball), and Miss YAN Nuo (shuttlecock).

The three recipients of the renewed scholarship are: Mr. CHOI Kwan Lok (cycling, retired), Mr. CHEN Pak Hong (rowing), and Mr. Joseph LAU (cycling).

This scholarship is a direct reflection of our founder Mr. Momofuku Ando’s philosophy that ‘Eating and sports are the two axles of health.’ By supporting these talented athletes at EdUHK for the fourth year, we are not just providing financial support, we are investing in future leaders who will champion health and wellness in our society. We are proud to empower them on their dual career path, confident that they will inspire the next generation as both accomplished athletes and dedicated educators.”

Expressing his profound gratitude for the long-standing partnership, Professor Chetwyn CHAN, Vice President (Research and Development) of EdUHK, said, “EdUHK is dedicated to promoting sustainable dual-career pathways for high-performance athletes. The generous Nissin Foods Scholarship for Elite Athletes allows us to support both active and retired athletes in advancing their educational pursuits, while also recognising their exceptional sporting accomplishments. I would like to extend my heartfelt congratulations to all the scholarship recipients, who demonstrated great passion, determination, and a sense of mission, and sincerely thank the Nissin Foods (Hong Kong) Charity Fund, and Mr Ando for the tremendous support and confidence in health education and the development of elite athletes.”
