Success has followed PolyU’s most outstanding student of 2010, Ms LEE Yeuk Ying, Krystal, who has recently been named a recipient of a Sir Edward Youde Memorial Scholarship 2010/11 to the tune of HK$20,000. One of the most prestigious scholarships in Hong Kong,the award aims to recognize and encourage academic achievements of full-time undergraduates, diploma and certificate students at post-secondary and tertiary levels in Hong Kong.
Now that she is almost finished with her studies for the Bachelor of Science in Surveying at the Department of Building and Real Estate(BRE), Krystal is honoured that she can serve as an example for other students. According to her, the scholarship application process has been rewarding enough, giving her a chance to reflect on her humble academic start in the Higher Diploma programme in Building Technology and Management at PolyU. After that, she was inspired to make the transition to study for a degree. She strongly encourages others to aim high and follow their dreams
She would like to take this opportunity to thank her family, friends and mentors who have supported her in her studies, especially Prof. TENG Jin-Guang, Dean of the Faculty of Construction and Land Use, and Prof. Geoffrey Qiping SHEN, Department Head of BRE, who nominated her for this scholarship. To show her gratitude, she has joined the Sir Edward Youde Scholars Association, an organization of past and current award winners who are committed tomaking a difference in the future development of Hong Kong
