HKUST welcomes more than 2,000 international students each year, and no matter where their hometown is, we ensure that every student is taken care of.
Why do we think this is important?
We encourage all students to participate in exchanges as a way to gain valuable insights and experiences while also strengthening students’ personal development and broadening their horizons.
Why pledge?
The HKSAR subsidizes local students with exchange scholarships and bursaries, but HKUST realizes the importance of also supporting non-local students.
How has the program been doing?
The program has supported 28 students with a total of HK$700,000 through exchange or outreach initiatives.
