Established in 2015, Link University Scholarship is our signature youth empowerment programme. We aim to reduce barriers to education by providing non-means-tested scholarships to outstanding local Hong Kong students who are the first in the three generations within their families to attend universities in Hong Kong. We welcome applications from students of both University Grants Committee-funded and self-financing universities#.
# The 12 universities are (in alphabetical order): City University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong Baptist University, Hong Kong Metropolitan University, Hong Kong Shue Yan University, Lingnan University, Saint Francis University, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, The Education University of Hong Kong, The Hang Seng University of Hong Kong, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and The University of Hong Kong
*Including 2025/26 figures
Our scholarship offers more than just financial support. As part of Link Scholars Alumni, scholars are invited to networking events and have opportunities to participate in community services and on-the-job training that will broaden their university experience.
Each awardee will receive a non-means tested scholarship of HK$20,000.
We host a wide range of events and workshops to broaden scholars’ social perspectives.
We organise various volunteer activities to encourage scholars to participate in community services.
Scholars will have the opportunity to join our summer internship and management trainee programme.
