Mr. Kiyotaka ANDO, Chairman of Nissin Foods (Hong Kong) Charity Fund, said, "As a leading food manufacturer, we are not only committed to exploring food-related possibilities and creating fabulous tastes, but also nurturing talents for the food industry and the society. This is why we launched the Scholarship for Elite Athletes. We believe that by cultivating a healthy lifestyle among young people through food and sports, a new crop of elite athletes will emerge to carry on the Team Nissin spirit - passing it on from one generation to the next."
Professor Stephen CHEUNG Yan Leung, President of EdUHK, expressed his sincere gratitude to the Charity Fund for their generous donation, and added, "The establishment of the scholarship enables current and retired athletes to diversify their career development.

As a professional tennis player, I understand very well the many challenges that elite athletes face and what they need. I'm proud to be part of a team responsible for creating a better learning environment for potential teachers, which will ultimately help various beneficiaries, including the children in need. Through our collaborative efforts, we will play an active role in cultivating future leaders who will have a positive impact on Hong Kong, making it an even better place."
