Sands China Ltd. recently made its 15th consecutive donation in scholarship and fellowship funding to Macau tertiary institutions, presenting ceremonial cheques totalling MOP1.08 million to representatives of seven institutions in a ceremony at The Venetian Macao.
“It is vital for Macau to continually expand its pool of diversified talent, so it is our pleasure to continue contributing to that effort through this annual donation,” said Wilfred Wong, president of Sands China Ltd.
With this year’s donation, Sands China’s total donations to tertiary scholarships and fellowships in Macau have reached MOP12.4 million, benefitting almost 1,500 students since 2006.
Each year, the educational institutions award these funds to students based on their academic performance and financial status during the previous academic year. This year’s MOP1.08 million donation will be distributed to 108 students to support their studies for the current academic year.
