Most of the University scholarships/ awards are granted on the basis of academic merit. Yet other criteria such as leadership, other personal qualities, financial need as well as records of extra-curricular activities and community services may also be taken into consideration.

Most of the scholarship recipients are nominated by Faculties / Schools / Departments or other relevant offices at the University, subject to the final selection / approval by the donors. There is no need for students to apply direct to our Office.

Some scholarships are open to student for application.  Announcement of such kind of scholarships will be posted under Applications Invited in this website. CUHK students are advised to visit this section from time to time for the scholarships/awards which fit their needs.

Colleges also administer their own scholarships, and students may also check with their respective Colleges for further details.
