The three renewed awardees are: Miss FU Chi Yan (badminton), Mr. CHOI Kwan Lok (cycling, retired) and Mr. Dickson TAM Joe Dick (triathlon, retired).

Mr. Kiyotaka ANDO, Chairman of Nissin Foods (Hong Kong) Charity Fund, said, "In pursuit of our founder, Mr. Momofuku Ando's belief that 'Eating and sports are the two axles of health', we launched the Scholarship together with EdUHK. We believe that, with our support, the awardees could focus on their sports and academic performance. They will become part of the Nissin Team to cultivate healthy lifestyle through food and sports."

Expressing his gratitude to the Charity Fund for its trust and support to EdUHK, Professor John LEE Chi Kin, President of EdUHK, said, "EdUHK is dedicated to promoting dual-career pathways for local elite athletes. I am delighted to learn that many of these elite athlete graduates have decided to serve in the education sector. I firmly believe that having remarkable courage and perseverance, they will become inspiring torchbearers for younger generations."

Ms. ZHANG Ling, Sports Ambassador of Nissin Foods and former Hong Kong No. 1 tennis player, said, "As a professional tennis player, I understand very well the many challenges that elite athletes face. I believe the Scholarship for elite athletes could give them peace of mind and enable them to make authentic career decision. I'm proud to be part of a team responsible for creating a better learning environment for potential teachers, which will ultimately help various beneficiaries, including the children in need."
