OUR PARTNERS
Our Partners
The Philomathia Foundation is very grateful to its university partners, especially the scientists and scholars among their faculties and students, in supporting our Vision and Values. Our funding support in research and scholarships is granted through the universities. We are open to discussions with other universities to establish new programs and initiatives; however, all applications for funding are by invitation only.

McMaster University
McMaster began its history in 1887 in Toronto and relocated to Hamilton in 1930. It offered its first PhD program in 1949. This was followed by a rapid expansion in its science programs and the commissioning of the McMaster Nuclear Reactor. The McMaster Medical School was established in 1965 and pioneered a problem-based medical curriculum which has since been widely adopted. Consistently ranked among Canada’s top public research schools, McMaster University has produced two Nobel Prize-winning alumni and was allocated 69 Canada Research Chairs by the Canadian government in 2000.
Chinese University of Hong Kong
The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) was established in 1963 through the merger of New Asia College, Chung Chi College and United College. Firmly rooted in Chinese culture, it is home to comprehensive academic research, with a faculty that includes several Nobel Prize winners.
As a collegiate university, the school comprises nine colleges that differ in character and history. While CUHK has emphasized the importance of both English and Chinese, most classes adopt English as the main language of instruction.
