Scholarship Opportunities - Eminent Scholarships
With generous donations from enthusiastic donors, the University offers various types of scholarships and prizes to recognize students' academic and non-academic achievements. More than 3,900 awards are given to CityU students annually, totalling in excess of HK$170 million a year. The majority of these scholarships are in recognition of academic achievement, such as the prestigious Hong Kong Jockey Club Scholarships, while CityU also recognises non-academic achievement in areas including leadership and community service, for example, Community Service Awards. Those eminent scholarships will invite students’ applications through CityU Announcement Portal (CAP). Generally, the value of each award ranges from HK$5,000 to HK$100,000. Please watch out.
