Hong Kong Scholarship 2024-25

Award details

The Hong Kong Scholarship is sponsored by the King’s Alumni Association in Hong Kong. The branch was first formed in 1982 for the benefit of King’s alumni living in Hong Kong. It is the aim of the scholarship to provide support to exceptional students at King’s with the intention that students will return to Hong Kong after graduation to contribute to Hong Kong interests.

The Hong Kong Scholarship aims to support Hong Kong residents planning to study for any three-year undergraduate course at King’s with a scholarship of £15,000 over three years. This prestigious scholarship will be awarded based on academic excellence and personal statement.
