This scholarships scheme aims at recognising and encouraging academic achievements of full-time undergraduate and diploma students at post-secondary and tertiary levels in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (Hong Kong).
For the 2024/25 academic year, each successful candidate will receive a one-off grant of HK$40,000. They will not be required to relinquish scholarships or bursaries concurrently held by them. Neither will the value of the scholarship be reduced in such circumstances.
