Scholarships

The University administers various scholarships and awards on behalf of individual and corporate donors.

Program-specific scholarships are also available for some taught postgraduate programs. Details are available at the Scholarships and Financial Aid Office website.

Government Student Financial Assistance

Students who have the right of abode in Hong Kong are eligible to apply for financial aid from the Student Finance Office (SFO) of the Working Family and Student Financial Assistance Agency. Holders of student visas are not eligible to apply for any financial aid from SFO, irrespective of their number of years of residence in Hong Kong. Application forms and further details are available at the SFO website.

In addition, the Continuing Education Fund (CEF) has been set up to subsidize adults with learning aspirations to pursue continuing education and training courses. Eligible applicants will be reimbursed part of the tuition fees on successful completion of approved reimbursable course(s). Application forms and further details are available at the CEF website.

Students with financial difficulties are urged to apply for government assistance as soon as it is open for application.

University Loans and Bursaries

Students with additional financial needs may apply for loans and bursaries administered by the University. In general, these funds are used to supplement, but not substitute for, government financial assistance. Details of loans and bursaries are available here.
