Budget Speech

Award of Scholarships

134.      We award scholarships to recognise the excellent performance of outstanding students and attract quality students to study in Hong Kong. The existing HKSAR Government Scholarship Fund awards scholarships to students taking publicly-funded degree programmes. The proposed Self-financing Post-secondary Education Fund will offer scholarships to those enrolled on self-financing post-secondary programmes. I propose to inject $250 million into the HKSAR Government Scholarship Fund to extend the benefit to students of publicly-funded sub-degree programmes.
