Worldwide Plus Visiting Scholarship
The HKU Worldwide Visiting Scholarship is to be awarded to full-time undergraduate students to study for the above fee-paying visiting programmes.
Value of Scholarship
The value of scholarship should be HK$100,000 for one academic year programme.
For merit-based funding provided by Registry offices in support of study abroad, each student is only eligible to receive a value that equals the largest award. Should the student receive more than one award, he/she may be required to return the prior award to the University. This is to ensure that scholarship funds benefit more than a small number of students.
Important Note
Successful applicants will automatically be considered for the eligibility of the scholarship.
HSBC Overseas Scholarship
Local Hong Kong applicants are highly recommended to apply for HSBC Overseas Scholarship at the same time. For more information, please refer to the website HSBC Overseas Scholarship.
