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 the 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
