The Hong Kong PhD Fellowship Scheme

Chinese University of Hong Kong welcomes applicants for the full-time PhD programmes to apply through the Hong Kong PhD Fellowship Scheme. It is recommended that fully eligible candidates need only apply.  Applicants are expected to demonstrate outstanding qualities of academic performance, research ability / potential, communication and interpersonal skills, and leadership abilities (from http://www2.cuhk.edu.hk/gss/hkphd/).

The Hong Kong PhD Fellowship Scheme, established by the Hong Kong Research Grants Council (RGC) in 2009, aims at attracting the best and brightest students from all over the world to pursue their PhD studies in Hong Kong. The Fellowship provides a monthly stipend of HK$20,000 and a conference travel allowance of HK$10,000 per year for the awardees for a maximum period of three years. For awardees with a normative study period of 4 years, CUHK will offer the award at the same level for the fourth year. In addition to the monthly stipend and annual conference travel allowance, HKPFS awardees may apply for various scholarships offered by the University. For the 2014/15 academic year, about 135 PhD Fellowships will be awarded (for more details see http://www2.cuhk.edu.hk/gss/hkphd/).
