Eligibility and Assessment Criteria
- Local students, both full-time and part-time, admitted to the designated TPg programmes of the University for the 2022/23 Intake are eligible to apply for the Scheme.
- The fellowships will be awarded to students on a merit basis; assessment criteria include but not limited to the following:
- Academic achievements;
- Professional qualifications;
- Relevant working experience;
- Achievements in other areas; and
- Student’s personal statement regarding the commitment and plan on how they can contribute to the priority areas of Hong Kong after completing the programme. - To avoid double subsidy, applications from students who are receiving other forms of government scholarships, including the Continuing Education Fund (except the Extended Non-means-tested Loan Scheme under the Student Finance Office) for pursuing the same programme will not be considered.
Duration and Amount of the Fellowship
- Awardees are required to pay a minimum tuition fee of HK$42,100 for the programme, and the differences will be subsidised by the fellowships subject to a cap of HK$120,000 for each student for the whole taught postgraduate programme, regardless of the actual study period.
- The fellowships will be used for the settlement of the tuition fee only.
