Policy Address 2024 | HK to boost Postgraduate Scholarships and promote 'Study in HK' globally
Hong Kong Chief Executive John Lee delivers his third Policy Address today (Oct. 16) at the Legislative Council. He declared that the Government is committed to developing Hong Kong into an international hub for post‑secondary education.
Lee indicated that the government will incentivize more local students to pursue advanced studies. "We will set up the Hong Kong Future Talents Scholarship Scheme for Advanced Studies, beginning in the 2025/26 academic year, offering scholarships each year to up to 1,200 local students enrolling in designated postgraduate programs," said Lee.
Lee also emphasized that the government will create the "Study in Hong Kong" brand. "We will strive to host international education conferences and exhibitions. We will also encourage local post‑secondary institutions to enhance collaboration and exchange with their counterparts around the world in promoting the "Study in Hong Kong" brand on a global scale and to attract more overseas students, especially those from ASEAN and other B&R countries, to study in our city through the provision of scholarships and other incentives," said Lee.
