In 1967, to mark the centenary of Swire in the Far East, the Swire Group contributed 10 Swire Scholarships and Studentships to enable students to continue their studies while residing at Robert Black College of the University. Thanks to the Group’s generosity, there are now more than 350 Swire Scholars.

1967年為慶祝太古於遠東發展一百週年,太古捐助港大以成立十個太古獎學金及太古學人計劃,讓學生可以在柏立基學院住宿及進行研究工作,至今已有逾350位太古學人。

Professor Vivian Yam Wing-Wah (BSc 1985, PhD 1988), HKU Philip Wong Wilson Wong Professor in Chemistry and Energy, was one of the recipients of the scholarship.
