Over the past four decades, the Student of the Year Awards has served as an annual celebration of the incredible and diverse talents of students across Hong Kong.
The awards recognise excellence in all forms, including outstanding academic performance, talent in sports and the arts, dedication to community service, and transformative personal growth.
Through a rigorous selection process led by our expert panel, the aim is to honour the most deserving students across these categories for their hard work, determination and passion. In doing so, the Student of the Year Awards seeks to inspire students across the city to reach their full potential and strive for greatness in all aspects of their academic and personal development.
New for our 2024/25 cohort, we are thrilled to introduce our pioneering Student of the Year Growth Network.
This groundbreaking initiative connects all nominees with rich career resources offered by SCMP Learn corporate partners and former Student of the Year Award recipients.
By participating in the Growth Network, nominees will have the chance to meet and learn from successful figures in different fields, opening the door to knowledge sharing and career guidance, as well as personal and professional growth opportunities.
Our most recent awards ceremony was held on Saturday 6 July, 2024. The event brought together a diverse group of industry professionals, educators, and students, with over 300 guests joining us for this memorable occasion, including our guest of honour Mr KK Chan, Chief Secretary of HKSAR.
Under the theme of "Empowering Collective Impact", the ceremony highlighted the power of collaboration and the potential it holds for positive change.
With this in mind, a new category, the Sustainability Advocate, was introduced, recognising the growing importance of environmental stewardship and sustainable practices.
Overall, the exceptional students who graced the stage showcased incredible passion and dedication to giving back to their wider community.
Nominations for the 2024/2025 Student of the Year Awards are now closed.
