About This Cause
The objective of the China Oxford Scholarship Fund is to award scholarships to some of the most talented graduates each year of universities in the People's Republic of China and in Hong Kong to enable them to study at the University of Oxford in England in order for them to realise their full potential and to return home to contribute in leadership positions to the development of their homeland. Currently, the trustees limit the granting of scholarships to those students engaged in postgraduate studies at the University of Oxford. In support of this objective, the Fund is engaged in fund-raising, investment, educational and career advice and pastoral care and mentoring of the scholars both during and after their time at the University of Oxford. These activities are carried out in conjunction with those of the China Oxford Scholarship Fund, the Fund's sister charity, being a charity registered in the United Kingdom. The Awards Committee uses the following criteria in selecting the students to be granted scholarships: • Possessing a confirmed place at Oxford; • Being from an under-privileged family; • Speaking sufficiently good English to benefit from the experience of being at the University of Oxford; • Having an all-round personality, not solely academic; • Showing clear signs of leadership capability in any field; • Being committed to returning home and contributing to the future development of their homeland. The Awards Committee interviews a short list of applicants each year and recommends candidates for the trustees’ decision. The Fund is constituted under a Deed of Declaration of Trust dated 9 March 1992, as varied by Deeds of Variation dated 30 November 2006 and 7 March 2007. The overall day to day management of the Fund is carried out by the seven trustees who are also responsible for significant decisions of a long term operational nature. The trustees are assisted in the day to day management of the Fund by two committees: the Finance Committee and the Awards Committee. The members of these committees are either trustees or friends of the Fund who provide their time and expertise to the Fund on an honorary basis. The trustees are also assisted by one part time employee. The Fund is a non profit organisation registered with the Inland Revenue Department of the Government of the Special Administrative Region of Hong Kong (#91-03682). As such, it is exempt from taxation on its charitable activities in Hong Kong.
