The Heleni Linton Memorial Account was established later that same year from funds donated by Ernst and Young, by colleagues, and by friends. From December 1992 on, interest accrued to the account is being used to award a modest annual Bursary bearing her name. The beneficiary will receive the Bursary at a ceremony held at the December annual general meeting of the Hong Kong Library Association. The Hong Kong Library Association will consider applications from full or part-time students of library and information science to assist in their studies. For example, the Bursary might help with research costs, conference attendance, short sabbaticals, course fees and the like.
Additional materials can accompany the application form.
Further, the heads of major library institutions in Hong Kong may nominate individuals as candidates for this award. A panel of at least three members will be formed including the President and Honorary Secretary of the Hong Kong Library Association and a representative from the Firm of Ernst and Young. They will meet once a year to review the applications. The panel will be looking for a high level of real merit in each case. The Panel will also take into consideration excellence in presentation of the proposal The Panel's decision will be final.
