All outstanding students were from University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong Baptist University, Chinese University of Hong Kong, Education University and UOW College of Hong Kong.

A award ceremony was held on 6 December, 2022 at the Residence. In the presence of Mrs Christile Drulhe, Consul General of France in Hong Kong and Macau and Dr Henry Tang Ying Yen, the President of the Légion d’Honneur Club Hong Kong Chapter, and Mr Gérard Millet, General Secretary and professors from universities gathered to honor the selected students and celebrate their achievements.
