Unified PhD Scholarship Framework Introduction

Since 2021, GS has implemented various communication sessions with research committees at faculty and department levels of PolyU for enhancing the quality of admitted PhD students and the overall admission success rate. Collaboration and active feedback were highly observed across parties.

This year, the Graduate School launched the Unified PhD Scholarship Framework (UPSF), to develop a consolidated and streamlined recruitment process for funding schemes, with clear criteria and guidelines on the submission and selection process. Two introductory sessions were conducted in April upon UPSF’s announcement to elaborate on details and address enquiries. This framework also encourages the use of research grants for RPg student recruitment. Our vision connects the bringing of a recruitment mechanism of efficacy, striving to excel through time.
