Opportunities from Working Family and Student Financial Assistance Agency / GovHK

The official 2027/28 application period runs from 22 June to 4 September 2026. Overseas fellowships support postgraduate study by research or coursework, with a maximum award of HK$300,000 per year and tenability up to three years for a doctorate or two years for a master's degree. Overseas undergraduate scholarships can provide up to HK$280,000 per year for up to three years. Award amounts may be adjusted based on university fees, necessary living expenses and other awards. Applications are submitted online through the official GovHK e-form, while applicants remain responsible for meeting the admission requirements of their chosen overseas institutions.

The 2027/28 scheme has separate postgraduate fellowship and undergraduate scholarship tracks. The official fellowship rules require Hong Kong permanent residence, at least seven years of continuous full-time education in Hong Kong, relevant honours-degree qualifications and language proficiency; the undergraduate scholarship has its own current eligibility rules, including Hong Kong permanent residence and Hong Kong education requirements. Applicants should use the official 2027/28 information note for the exact track-specific conditions.
