The Department of Computer Science Entrance Grants

Regulations

The Department of Computer Science has agreed to establish awards from its Non-UGC Reserves to students admitted to the BSc (Hons) Computer Science through direct application with effect from the academic year 2008/2009.  The following regulations shall apply as of 2022/2023:

1.         The awards shall be known as “The Department of Computer Science Entrance Grants”.

2.          There shall be two awards in maximum.  The maximum value of each award shall be HK$5,000. The amount shall be used to settle the payment of the tuition fee for the BSc (Hons) Computer Science programme.

3. The awards shall be given to students with outstanding entrance qualifications admitted into the BSc Computer Science Year 2 programme through direct application.

4. Nominations from the Department of Computer Science shall reach the Student Development Services by the mid-February 2023 and the awards shall be made before the end of March 2023.  The Department reserves the right to withhold the number of nominees.

5. Confirmation will be sought with the Department of Computer Science before July each year on whether or not the awards will be continued for the following academic year.

Remark:

With an objective to nurture our students and to promote caring culture, the Community Relations Committee of the University Council has recommended that each award recipient is expected to make an annual donation of at least HK$200 to City University of Hong Kong for student support via CityU Alumni Giving Club when they are in employment after graduation.  This term has been incorporated into all scholarship/prize/award/bursary schemes, whether they are donated by external donors or contributed by University funding, with effect from February 2008.
