David Parker Memorial Scholarships


David Parker Alliance (DPA) is a networking programme initiated by friends, English alumni and colleagues in memory of the late Professor David Parker. Professor Parker was the Chairperson of the Department of English at CUHK from 2000 to 2009. He was a tireless educator, a generous mentor and a dear friend who always motivated his students to believe in themselves and to explore their potential. To continue his legacy, David Parker Memorial Scholarships are established to encourage English majors to achieve excellence in academic studies, community services, stage productions and creative writing, so that the love and dedication of Professor Parker can have further impact upon English majors.
