Entrance Scholarships are available to students when you apply to study at The University of Hong Kong, and are awarded on the basis of academic merits with consideration of non-academic achievement. Our entrance scholarships are made possible by generous donations from various foundations and donors for different kinds of applicants.
The number of entrance scholarships for non-local students will actually increase in 2012 (and potentially double) as a result of the double cohort of students admitted to either the existing 3-year curriculum or new 4-year curriculum. A new scheme will also be set up to offer entrance scholarships to local non-JUPAS students in 2012. Scholarships worth up to HK$640,000 (4-year curriculum, non-local) and HK$240,000 (4-year curriculum, local) will be available!

Dayaram Scholarships for Indian Students

Financial Assistance
Non-Local students
Like most countries, the HKSAR government does not provide financial aid to non-local students. However, thanks to the HK Government’s support for the development of Hong Kong as an educational
hub for students from around the world, HKU tuition fees are very low by international standards
Non-local students can undertake part-time work on campus during the semester, and can work during their summer vacation in the city
Graduates may take up full-time employment upon finishing their studies at HKU
