SCHOLARSHIPS and
FINANCIAL AID

The College offers a wide variety of scholarships to our students, covering the areas in ethical intellectual, physical, social and aesthetic development. The College rewards academic excellence by offering full and non-full tuition scholarships to both undergraduate and postgraduate students. To realise the goal of integrative education, the College also offers prizes to students who have demonstrated outstanding performance in student activities, sports, community and College services.

 

The awards are monitored by the College Scholarships and Student Finance Committee, to be awarded subject to conditions. Application details will be announced by the Dean of Students’ Office.

 

Admission Scholarship for Non-local Year one students (through Non-JUPAS):
Starting from the academic year 2024-2025, the College has established “Shum Wai Yau and Kong Fook To Belt and Road First-in-the-Family Tertiary Education Admission Scholarship” to encourage the United College non-local Year-one students who come from Belt and Road countries and are the first generation in the family to actively participate in various college activities on campus as well as striving for study time for better academic results.
