Informational only — scholarship amounts, deadlines and even which schemes are running change often (sometimes per intake), so treat this as a starting point, not a guarantee. Always confirm current details directly with the scholarship provider or City U HK's financial aid office.
Hong Kong's UGC-funded universities offer a limited number of highly competitive entrance scholarships for outstanding international/non-local students, generally covering a significant share of tuition or including a stipend.
These are genuinely competitive with very few places — worth applying for, but don't rely on one as your funding plan.
