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.
