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.
