JOINT FUNDING SCHEME AND NEW SCHOLARSHIP SCHEME

HMG and Hong Kong Government mindful of great mutual benefits that are derived through students from Hong Kong studying in the

UK.

Since 1983 the two governments have contributed to a

means-tested fee support scheme which has enabled over 5,000 needy

u.k. students to study in universities.

The two governments have recently decided to maintain the fund

at current levels for a further two years.

In addition they will place greater emphasis on our existing

merit scholarship scheme. Funding for merit scholarship scheme will

be substantially increased from the £40,000 currently available.

At present about 6,000 Hong Kong post-secondary students studying in the UK. Of these about 1300 are taking post-graduate

courses.
