HSBC Overseas Scholarship Scheme

Overview

The Hongkong Bank Foundation has a long history of supporting educational activities and nurturing young people for the betterment of the community. For the 2011/12 academic year, The Hongkong Bank Foundation is offering the HSBC Overseas Scholarships, at a maximum total value of HK$4,000,000, to selected local full-time undergraduate students. The scholarships will enable the recipients to spend one year of their degree programme at one of the designated overseas universities and return to our University to complete their studies and graduate. The Hong Kong Baptist University will nominate up to two eligible candidates to compete with students from other universities in Hong Kong for the Scholarships.

Each scholarship will cover (1) tuition fees and mandatory college fees, (2) a minimum economy return airfare, and (3) reasonable room and board costs, books, a small portion of living expenses and visa application fees.
