Sports Scholarship Scheme

The Programme

The Sports Scholarship Scheme offers an alternative admission path to the University for outstanding young men and women whose pre-university experience includes a significant commitment to the pursuit of sporting excellence as well as to their formal academic studies.

To be eligible for the Sports Scholarship Programme applicants must have (i) satisfied the minimum University entrance requirements for the year of admission, (ii) demonstrated exceptional sporting prowess and (iii) met the entrance requirements for the particular academic programme of study as specified by and/or modified by the relevant Faculty.

The University of Hong Kong is committed to supporting and nurturing talented sports scholars. As an HKU Sports Scholar, you will be provided with different levels of support to ensure that demanding training and competition schedules are balanced with the academic pressure of pursuing a degree.

In addition, tuition fee waivers and other allowances such as free accommodation will be awarded to outstanding student-athletes. With supportive financial subsidies, you will be able to dedicate your time and effort to excel in your chosen sport.

To build a vibrant and diverse community of students, commencing 2021-22, successful Sports Scholars may be supported in one or more ways (on a competitive basis and subject to satisfactory performance):

1. Accommodation in a residential college/hall in the form of Residential Scholarships;
2. Scholarships in the form of tuition waiver, full or partial;
3. Reimbursement for certain expenses associated directly with continuation of their high level training and competition.
