Sino Group will donate 20 scholarships with a value of HK$200,000 each for the lucky draw among vaccinated youngsters aged from 12 to 17.
The scholarships, donated by Ng Teng Fong Charitable Foundation Limited, the philanthropic arm of the Group, are open to HK identity card holders aged from 12 to 17, who have had at least one dose of the Covid-19 vaccine in Hong Kong on or before September 30.
Vaccinated youth are invited to visit the lucky draw website for registration starting from September 2. Those who have already received one dose or both doses before today’s announcement are also eligible.
The scholarships will be offered in the form of pre-paid card or credit card which will be issued to the winner’s parent or guardian. Participants must obtain their parent’s or guardian’s consent for their enrollment.
The 20 scholarship prizes will be given out under Phase 2 of the vaccination lucky draw, regardless of the vaccination rate in Hong Kong.
Daryl Ng Win-kong, director of the Foundation, said, “Participation by the younger generation in the government’s vaccination programme is essential in achieving an overall higher vaccination rate of our community.”
“We hope that their vaccination can also facilitate the resumption of full day classes at schools in a safe healthy environment,” Ng also said.
