The Office of Admissions and Financial Aid is a central unit responsible for the administration of University scholarships and financial aid schemes.

Scholarships
With the generous donations from numerous donors, the University offers a number of scholarships, prizes and academic awards to recognize and encourage students who have demonstrated academic excellence and outstanding performance in other areas, such as creativity, community services and leadership.

Each year, the University offers Admission Scholarships to outstanding local and non-local undergraduate entrants. For details, please click here .

Moreover, for further developing Hong Kong as a regional education hub, the Government has also been offering HKSAR Government Scholarships to our students since the academic year 2008/09.

In the academic year 2010/11, the University and its constituent Colleges granted over 5,400 individual scholarships and prizes (excluding honorary awards) totaling around HK$116 million to students in various disciplines of study.

Financial Aid
The University also provides bursaries and loans to help eligible students with financial need.

The Office of Admissions and Financial Aid assists in the administration of the “Tertiary Student Finance Scheme - Publicly-funded Programmes” as well as “Non-means-tested Loan Schemes” which are offered by the Student Financial Assistance Agency of the Hong Kong SAR Government.
