Application Procedures

Eligible students will be invited by the programme to submit applications.

Remarks

To avoid “double benefit”, students awarded with other government scholarships, including the Continuing Education Fund, will NOT be considered for the Hong Kong Future Talents Scholarship Scheme for Advanced Studies. Nevertheless, students are still eligible to apply for the Extended Non-means-tested Loan Scheme under the Student Finance Office to settle the tuition fees for the taught postgraduate programme in the form of loans.

In the event of any disputes, the University reserves the right to make the final decision on the selection of the awardees.
