The Programme

The Sports Scholarship Programme 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 Programme currently does not provide a cash allowance or any tuition waivers to the successful applicants but some consideration may be given to sports scholars to reimburse some expenses associated directly with continuation of their high level training and competition while enrolled as a student at HKU.
