About this scholarship
CUHK awards admission scholarships to new undergraduates — local and non-local alike — on academic and non-academic merit, with values from HK$5,000 to full tuition and many renewable for the whole degree.
There is no application: the university identifies qualified students from the admission file and notifies them of the offer. Hong Kong's IANG arrangement then allows graduates to stay and work after the degree.

There are no consultation fees and no agent fees, because we are funded by our university partners. The only cost you take on is the university’s own tuition or semester fees, which you pay directly to the university after you accept your offer.
What exactly do you help with?
Everything from start to finish: understanding your options, shortlisting the right programme, preparing your application and personal statement, submitting to the university, and guiding you through the offer, enrolment and visa paperwork, all with a dedicated counsellor.
Which universities can you place me into?
We place students into a range of UK and international universities, and we shortlist the best-fit options for your grades, budget and goals rather than pushing a single school. On some pages we run dedicated free placement drives for a specific partner university, and we are always adding more partners. Tell us your goals and your counsellor will map out your options.
