The American Chamber of Commerce Charitable Foundation is proud to announce the 2010 AmCham Charitable Foundation U.S. Studies Scholarship recipients! The Scholarship is available to a qualified secondary school graduate of Hong Kong to pursue studies at a U.S. university. This year, the Foundation received very strong applicants and found it very difficult to single out one student for the award. As a result, the Trustees decided to grant three scholarships this year! Congratulations to the three winning students!
