From time to time, a number of private
organizations, firms, professional bodies and
individuals donate to the University
scholarships and prizes which are awarded to
students with outstanding academic
achievements. Most of them are for local
full-time undergraduate and sub-degree
students. Most of the scholarship/prize
awardees are nominated by Heads of Academic
Departments. A limited number of
scholarships/prizes are open to application by
students. Please watch out for notice.
The University
has around 15 travelling scholarships
available for students to undertake
non-course-required study trips during the
summer vacation to enrich their professional
knowledge and widen their horizon. Some of the
travelling scholarships are open for
competition by students and applications are
invited from November to early February
annually.
Starting from 1998/99, the University runs
an Outstanding Students Award Scheme
annually aimed at motivating students to
excel both in academic and non-academic
pursuits while they are studying at PolyU,
and helping cultivate a campus culture and
communicate a public image favourable to
the production of Preferred Graduates and
the establishment of PolyU as a Preferred
University. Under the scheme, a student is
selected from each faculty every year to
receive the Outstanding Student of Faculty
Award; and among the six awardees of the
Outstanding Student of Faculty Awards, one
will be further selected for the honour of
the Most Outstanding PolyU Student of the
Year. The 2008 Outstanding Student Awards
Presentation Ceremony was held on 24
February 2009 in the Chiang Chen Studio
Theatre in PolyU. For details of the
Ceremony, please take a look at our
E-magazine.
For time to time, there
are scholarships open for application by
students or open for nomination by academic
departments. Please click
