The School was pleased to establish its Fellowship awards in 2014. The School felt that it had become of a size and reputation that it would be appropriate to honour some of the many people involved in supporting continuing education and lifelong learning in Hong Kong, thus these awards complement those of the University. The criteria for the awards are as follows: • Long service which relates to good and excellent service with the School • Relationship with the School • Distinguished lifelong learners and contributions to lifelong learning. For the 2024 awards, the three Fellows well met one or more of these criteria.
