This fellowship / scholarship scheme aims at encouraging and assisting full-time students with special educational needs in pursuing postgraduate studies by research and / or undergraduate and diploma programmes at post-secondary and tertiary levels in the Hong Kong.
Mark was born with Tourette Syndrome, which is a movement disorder. He wants to be a prosthetists-orthotist to help other people with disabilities.
