CUHK Business School launches “PwC Accounting Scholarships” to recognise outstanding local PACC students

CUHK Business School is pleased to launch the “PwC Accounting Scholarships” for local Professional Accountancy (PACC) students, established through a generous donation from the PricewaterhouseCoopers Foundation (PwC Foundation).

Commencing in the 2026/27 academic year, the scholarship will cover a half-year tuition fee for high-achieving full-time undergraduates in Year 2 or above. The award honours students who demonstrate outstanding academic performance alongside financial need, benefiting four recipients in the first year and three recipients annually over the subsequent three years.

Professor Zhou Lin, dean of CUHK Business School, expressed his gratitude for the support, “We are incredibly grateful to the PwC Foundation for their support of our PACC students, which enables us to further our mission of cultivating visionary business leaders. This recognition inspires outstanding students to strive for excellence and create a lasting, positive impact on society.”

Professor George Yang, director of the School of Accountancy, remarked, “We extend our deepest appreciation to the PwC Foundation, whose support exemplifies professional sector engagement. This scholarship is of great significance to our high-achieving students — it gives them the peace of mind to focus on their studies, while motivating them to stay closely connected to the evolving demands of the business environment.”

Over the past few decades, CUHK Business School has been privileged to have dedicated supporters contributing to its growth and development. Their support not only allows us to strive for excellence in business education and transformative research on local, regional, and global scales, but also creates lasting value and impact within the CUHK Business School community.
