In 2005, the Faculty of Business and Economics established a scholarship for new students of the Master of Economics (MEcon) programme. 

Purpose and Scope

The Scholarship shall be awarded annually either as an Entrance Scholarship to new full-time MEcon students or a Merit-based Scholarship to current full-time MEcon students. 

For the Entrance Scholarship, the value of each scholarship shall be determined by the Faculty Scholarship Committee, upon recommendation of the MEcon Admissions Committee, based on academic merit and background at the time of admission and funding availability.  Financial need may also be taken into consideration. 

The Scholarship shall be applied to cover awardees' composition fees. In any event, the value of each scholarship shall not be less than HK$10,000. 

For the Merit-based Scholarship, the value of each scholarship shall be 10% of the composition fee of the given intake.  The exact number of scholarships shall be determined by the Faculty Scholarship Committee. The Scholarship shall be awarded based on the following criteria: 

• Academic performance in the first three modules of the relevant academic year; 
• Participation in the extracurricular activities arranged by the programme office and the career and enrichment teams, including, but not limited to, industry seminars, career workshops and student activities, in the first three modules of the relevant academic year;
