Outstanding Young Students Awarded the Harvard Book Prize

Marking the fifth year of collaboration between Sunway College and the Harvard Club of Malaysia, four students were awarded the Harvard Book Prize at a small ceremony recently. The Harvard Prize Book is one of the most prestigious awards for outstanding Pre-University and Sunway International School Year 11 students. The tradition of the Harvard Prize Book Award was started way back in 1910 with the aim of attracting outstanding young individuals to study at Harvard College.

The four awardees, Hii Chun Yuan and Gan Ye Zhuan from the A-Level programme, Lok Huey Ning of the Canadian International Matriculation Programme (CIMP) and Melanie Yap Ann Ann of Sunway International School were chosen through a stringent selection process. They each received RM 2,000 cash prize, a copy of the Harvard Prize Book, an opportunity for internship at the Harvard Club of Malaysia throughout their duration of study at Sunway College, and a certificate endorsed by the Harvard Club of Malaysia.
