a) Post-entry Scholarships/ Prizes awarded on the basis of academic and/or non-academic achievements
From time to time, a number of private organisations, firms, professional bodies and individuals donate to PolyU scholarships and prizes which are awarded to students with outstanding academic and/or non-academic achievements (such as achievements in extra-curricular activities and community services) during their studies at PolyU. Most of the scholarships/prizes are awarded to undergraduate students and the awardees are normally nominated by Heads of Academic Departments. Please click here for the list of post-entry scholarships* available for undergraduate/taught postgraduate students. However, a limited number of scholarships/prizes are open for application by students or nomination by academic departments via SAO. Please refer to the schedule of inviting application/nomination for details.

In 2021/22, the Scheme piloted a new direction to support students to adapt their capstone/FYP for SL. The Scheme aims at helping students further connect their studies and service, and achieving greater societal impact to the underprivileged community through their academic discipline.
