Purpose and Scope
Up to ten scholarships shall be made annually to full-time TPG students in the Faculty of
Business and Economics based on the following criteria:
(a) Connections with Vietnam, such as Vietnamese passport holder, or having completed an
undergraduate degree in Vietnam;
(b) Good academic performance in undergraduate study;
(c) Interview performance; and
(d) Career track record as applicable.
3. The exact value of each scholarship shall be determined by the Selection Committee, based on
the awardees’ merit and background. Typically, the Scholarship will be used to cover the
awardee’s TPG tuition fee in such cases. The Scholarship will not be paid directly to the
awardees, but rather be applied to cover his/her tuition fees. For applicants with exceptionally
strong credentials, they may be awarded with an additional amount (on top of the component to
cover the entire programme tuition fees) of up to HK$240,000, to be disbursed on a quarterly
basis in October, January, April, and July.
4. Each recipient can only receive the Scholarship once throughout his/her study at The University
of Hong Kong.
