The Chinese University of Hong Kong received a generous donation of HK$100 million from the Morningside Foundation and Morningside Education Foundation to establish the Morningside College. The College will accommodate 300 students on a fully residential and communal dining basis.

Mission and Vision

The mission of the new college is to foster an intimate and collegial community where students and academic staff learn, share and grow intellectually; to provide an environment for congenial college life and learning for students; to provide pastoral care and whole-person education including general education for students; to broaden and to internationalize the students' perspective through college formal and non-formal education programmes. In particular, Morningside College will seek to cultivate among students a commitment to serve the community of Hong Kong, China and the world.

About The Morningside Foundation and Morningside Education Foundation

The Morningside Foundation is a U.S. private foundation formed in 1997 by brothers Ronnie C. Chan and Gerald L. Chan. Based on its premise that education plays a pivotal role in enabling social mobility for individuals and economic development for communities, the Foundation provides support to institutions such as Harvard University, the University of Southern California, Johns Hopkins University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and the University of California at Los Angeles. The Morningside Foundation has also helped to create a Yale-China program in the Huangshan region of Anhui Province, China. Beginning in the summer of 2006, four recent graduates of Yale College will devote two years of service to teach English in this rural region of China.

Morningside Education Foundation is a Hong Kong charitable organisation formed in 2004 by the Chan Family. One of its main charitable objectives is the provision of financial assistance and support for educational purposes to students and non-profit-making institutions in need. In the furtherance of these objectives, Morningside Education Foundation has provided scholarships to outstanding but needy students studying at top institutions in China such as Peking University and Tsinghua University. Morningside Education Foundation also supports the Morningside Music Bridge program at the Mount Royal College at Calgary, Canada, which provides young Chinese musicians the opportunity to extend and challenge themselves to higher level of musical performance as well as to share their musical knowledge and aspirations with young musicians from other parts of the world.
