SCHOLARSHIPS

The Hong Kong Jockey Club Chairman’s Scholarship is a prestigious and generous scholarship that aims to attract students with exceptional academic achievements to pursue their undergraduate studies in Hong Kong.

The Hong Kong Jockey Club Striding On Scholarship aims to recognise students who have achieved excellence while demonstrating resilience and strength of mind to overcome adversities or challenges in life. These may include but are not limited to: challenges that arise from special educational needs or other forms of disabilities, health needs, prejudices on account of the individual’s race, gender or religious beliefs, hardships of all types (financial or otherwise), or other extenuating personal or familial circumstances.

This scholarship recognises outstanding undergraduates who are from economies in transition and have demonstrated evidence of excellence and outstanding leadership and commitment to HK. Shortlisted candidates may need to supply additional documents.

Supported by the Hong Kong government, this scholarship recognises outstanding students from participating Belt and Road countries, including Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Myanmar, among others.

This scholarship recognises outstanding female students from countries with low national achievements or disadvantaged backgrounds. Male students that have shown a proven commitment to achieving the HeForShe movement’s goals are also eligible to apply.

This merit-based scholarship invites outstanding incoming Bachelor of Arts and Sciences students to participate in exclusive mentorship and training opportunities and pursue innovative projects.

This merit-based scholarship was established to attract the best students to apply for admission into the undergraduate programmes under the Department of Architecture. The Scholarship shall be awarded to deserving students, based on academic merit, who have been offered admission into the BA(AS) or BASc(Design+) Programme. The number and exact value of the scholarships to be awarded each year shall be determined by the Selection Committee, based on the academic merit of eligible students and funding available at the time.

In honour of the late Professor Barry Fegan Will, Dean of the Faculty of Architecture from 1990 to 1998, the Scholarship was established to award top applicants for the BA(AS) programme.

In 2024, The Paul Leese Memorial Scholarship was established by Mr. Leese’s family. Six scholarships shall be granted annually to full-time undergraduate students reading the degree of Bachelor of Arts in Architectural Studies in the Department of Architecture at the University of Hong Kong. The scholarships shall be awarded based on academic merit and financial need.
