The University recently received a donation of HK$300,000 from the Inner Mongolia Xinganmeng Education & Economic Development Association in support of the development of the University. The Association has also established a partnership with the University to provide scholarships for students from Inner Mongolia to receive whole person education at HKBU so they can broaden their horizons and after graduation contribute what they have learnt to the development of Inner Mongolia.   In recognition of the Association’s generosity, a cheque presentation ceremony cum agreement signing ceremony was held on 23 April 2013, officiated by Mr. Xu Dong, Secretary-General of the Inner Mongolia Xinganmeng Education & Economic Development Association, and Professor Albert Chan, HKBU President and Vice-Chancellor.   The Inner Mongolia Xinganmeng Education & Economic Development Association is led by the Xinganmeng Government.  It is dedicated to improving educational conditions in underprivileged areas of Xinganmeng and financing needy students to receive education, with the aim of nurturing talent for the promotion of the social and economic development in Xinganmeng.  This is the first time that an organisation from the Mainland has offered financial support to Mainland students for studying undergraduate programmes at HKBU.
