Sharing his joy of receiving the scholarship, Vincent said, “I didn’t study ICT in secondary school, however, I am fortunate to have met passionate lecturers who help me learn programming and computer knowledge from scratch. Whenever I encounter difficulties in my study, my supportive lecturers teach me patiently step by step. Even at times of online teaching, the lecturers taught me one on one via Zoom and replied my countless emails. I am really grateful.” Vincent has received a conditional offer from the Bachelor of Science (Honours) Scheme in Computing of Hong Kong Polytechnic University, and is moving one step closer to his dream of becoming a programmer.
