Shell / Island JC Scholarship for the Disabled
Shell/ Island JC
Scholarship for the Disabled was established in 1981, the International Year of
Disabled Persons. Since its inception, the scholarship awards programme has
been highly popular among schools, students and parents.
Each year, 10
outstanding students are selected for the Outstanding Disabled Student Award.
In 1993, the Best Progress Award was established to further motivate disabled
students to achieve improvements. The Best Integrated Student Award was set up
in 2001 to encourage disabled students who are studying in ordinary schools. In
recognition of ordinary students who demonstrate notable effort in helping
disabled students integrate into school life and significantly foster an
integrated learning experience in schools, the Caring Integrated Student Award
has been established in 2011 to further advocate integrated education.
Today, the scholarship
has become a special honour and a great encouragement to disabled students.
