It was established in 2014 through the generosity of Mr. Ronald K. Y. Chao (Vice Chairman and Director, Novel Enterprises Limited in Hong Kong), and is administered by Bai Xian Asia Institute Limited. With a vision to develop future leaders who embrace cultural diversity and play an active role in creating harmony among the nations, BXAI aims to grant up to 100 AFLSP Scholarships per year to elite students at its 16 Anchor and Participating Universities. Six universities in Japan, China and Hong Kong, including Kyoto University, have been chosen as Anchor Universities for the AFLSP. These universities each operate an independent selection process for the AFLSP.
