The UNSW Hong Kong Foundation Scholarship supports an international student who is a Hong Kong citizen and will begin full-time undergraduate coursework at UNSW Sydney in Term 1, 2027. UNSW Scholarships administers it through the shared PUCA1029 application for commencing international students.
The award is open across UNSW undergraduate coursework fields, with selection based on merit and the submitted application. Its availability is irregular rather than guaranteed in every annual intake.
Benefits & funding
- AUD 10,000 per year for the minimum duration of the recipient’s undergraduate program.
- The listing does not specify whether the award is paid as a stipend or applied to tuition fees.
Eligibility
- Be an international student and a citizen of Hong Kong at the time of application; no separate place-of-residence requirement is stated.
- Commence full-time study in a UNSW undergraduate coursework degree in Term 1, 2027.
