Scholarships for Semester Exchange in 2025-26
The University has reassessed the HKUWW Scholarship Scheme and revised the award scale for the scholarship applicable to the semester exchange during the academic year 2025-26. All eligible participants of the HKUWW Undergraduate Exchange Programmes (including faculty-level exchange programmes) will be considered for the Scholarship for Semester Exchange.
IAO will assign applicants an appropriate scholarship according to their financial needs and academic standing, once they have met the conditions and have been accepted by their host institution.
In all the merit-based funding provided by the Registry offices in support of study abroad, each student is only eligible to receive the value that equals the largest award throughout his/her undergraduate studies. Should a student receive more than one award, he/she may be required to return the prior award to the University. This ensures that scholarship funds benefit more than a small number of students.
The Scholarship Scheme offers a notional amount of award for students’ semester exchange studies. Students should not consider it a major financial source. Students should obtain a CGPA of 3.0 or above before the exchange semester to be eligible for receiving the HKUWW Scholarship Scheme.
Only students who travel outside Hong Kong and join in-person exchanges will be eligible to receive exchange scholarships.
