Ng Teng Fong Charitable Foundation will Donate 20 Scholarships with a Value of HK$200,000 Each for the Lucky Draw among Vaccinated Hong Kong Residents Aged 12 or Above and Below 18

HONG KONG, Aug. 3, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Encouraging the community to reach a high vaccination rate is an important way to achieve herd immunity, and in turn also enables students to return to school as soon as possible in a safe healthy environment. Everyone has a part to play in contributing to protecting our community. Ng Teng Fong Charitable Foundation Limited (‘NTFCF’), the philanthropic arm of Sino Group, is pleased to announce a donation of 20 scholarships with a value of HK$200,000 each, for the lucky draw among vaccinated residents aged 12 or above and below 18.

20 Scholarships for Vaccinated Youth Aged 12 or Above and Below 18

The scholarships are open to Hong Kong residents who are aged 12 or above and below 18, holding a valid Hong Kong Identity Card (Permanent Residents and Non-Permanent Residents), and have had at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine in Hong Kong on or before 30 September 2021. Vaccinated youth are invited to visit the lucky draw website for registration starting from 2 September 2021, while those who have already received one dose or both doses before today’s announcement are also eligible. The scholarships will be offered in the form of pre-paid card or credit card which will be issued to the winner’s parent or guardian. Participants must obtain their parent’s or guardian’s consent for their enrolment. The 20 scholarship prizes will be given out under Phase 2 of the vaccination lucky draw, regardless of the vaccination rate in Hong Kong.

Mr Daryl Ng, Director of Ng Teng Fong Charitable Foundation Limited says, ‘Participation by the younger generation in the Government’s vaccination programme is essential in achieving an overall higher vaccination rate of our community. We hope that their vaccination can also facilitate the resumption of full day classes at schools in a safe healthy environment.‘

Phase 2 Grand Prize for Eligible Participants Aged 18 or Above

As announced earlier, NTFCF and Chinese Estates Holdings Limited will sponsor a one-bedroom residential apartment at Grand Central in Hong Kong, with a floor area of approximately 468 square feet and a value of approximately HK$12,000,000, for the Phase 2 lucky draw among vaccinated permanent residents aged 18 or above if 5 million of the Hong Kong population receive at least one dose of the vaccine in Hong Kong by 30 September 2021, which is on top of the grand prize under the Phase 1 lucky draw. Participants who have registered for the Phase 1 of the lucky draw but did not win the grand prize will automatically be enrolled in to the Phase 2 with no additional registration required.

Phase 2 of lucky draw registration opens on 2 September and closes on 30 September
