Faculty of Arts Scholarship for Local Students

In 2024, the Faculty of Arts established the “Faculty of Arts Scholarship for Local Students” to recognise the outstanding achievements of local students and encourage their pursuit of further study. The Scholarship shall be awarded from the academic year 2025-26 under the following regulations:

• The Scholarship shall be known as the “Faculty of Arts Scholarship for Local Students”.
• The Scholarship shall be awarded each year to local students admitted to taught postgraduate (TPg) programmes offered by the Faculty of Arts on the basis of academic merit. Eligible students shall be automatically considered, with no application necessary.
• The Scholarship shall be of the value of up to 20% of the tuition fee for the TPg programme to which they are admitted. It shall be disbursed in two installments, each up to 10% of the tuition fee. The first installment shall be disbursed upon the student’s admission to the TPg programme, and the second installment shall be disbursed upon the completion of the TPg programme.
• The number of scholarships and the value of each scholarship to be made each year shall be determined by the Faculty of Arts, based on the recommendation from individual TPg programmes and subject to funding availability.
• Awardees shall return the Scholarship payment if they fail to complete their studies in the enrolled TPg programme.
• In any year when candidates are judged to be of insufficient merit, no awards shall be made.
