About the Donor
The Han Jin Fong Overseas Experience Grant is established by Mr Han Jong Kwang in honour of his late grandfather, Mr Han Jin Fong. Mr Han Jong Kwang believes an overseas immersion programme is a life-changing experience that broadens students' horizons exponentially and helps in character-building. Fostering new friendships and building a network of international connections is another benefit. He hopes that this grant will ease the financial burden of needy students with aspirations of going overseas on an immersion programme.
