The act of serving the community is a merit that should be encouraged and also used to inspire others.
Why do we think it is important?
HKUST encourages students to be involved with their communities, to be global citizens, and to share with those who are less fortunate.
Why pledge?
Those who demonstrate leadership, enthusiasm and compassion in creating long-term community programs that affect change are recognized by our AEF Community Services Awards.

How is the money used?
Each year, a cash award of HK$5,000 is granted to a maximum of five HKUST full time undergraduate and post-graduate students who have demonstrated leadership and dedication in volunteer services, which have had direct impact on regional or global issues.
The cumulative donations received from alumni are treated as the principal balance of the Alumni Endowment Fund (AEF) and is maintained in perpetuity. The principal is the basis of sustained annual income from various investments forming a reliable and viable source of support for many beneficial projects for students.
