With the aim to recruit the best and brightest students in the world to pursue PhD studies in Hong Kong, the Research Grants Council (RGC) of the Government of Hong Kong SAR has established the “Hong Kong PhD Fellowship Scheme”.  I am writing to ask for your assistance in recommending outstanding and good research potential candidates to apply for the Scheme through City University of Hong Kong.
 
The Fellowship awarded by RGC provides a monthly stipend of HK$27,600 (approximately US$3,538) and a conference and research-related travel allowance of HK$13,800 (approximately US$1,760) per year for the awardees for a maximum period of three years.
 
CityU will provide a monthly studentship at the same level as the Fellowship awarded by RGC for their fourth year of study. 
 
In addition, Fellowship recipients at CityU will be awarded a scholarship which covers students’ tuition and on-campus hostel accommodation fees in their first year of research studies. 
 
The Hong Kong PhD Fellowship Scheme will invite applications for 2024 entry from 1 September to 1 December 2023 (12:00 noon Hong Kong Time or GMT +8 hours). The key milestones and application procedures are as follows:
 
Step 1:
Applicants should first submit an initial application at RGC’s Online Application System (OAS) (https://cerg1.ugc.edu.hk/hkpfs/apply.html) to obtain a RGC reference number (RGC’s deadline: 1 December 2023 [12:00 noon Hong Kong Time or GMT +8 hours]).
 
Step 2:
Applicants are then required to submit full application, together with supporting documents, to CityU’s Online Admission System, and quote the RGC reference number (CityU’s deadline: 1 December 2023 [23:59 Hong Kong Time or GMT +8 hours]).
 
Announcement of Fellowship results by the RGC: April/May 2024.
 
Firm admission offer with regular postgraduate studentship will be given to selected CityU’s nominees, even if they are not awarded the Fellowship by RGC. The admission offer will be confirmed by the University in mid February 2024.
 
I am enclosing an e-poster prepared by our Graduate School for your information/dissemination to potential students.  Should you or your students wish to know more about the  Fellowship Scheme, please visit our website (https://www.cityu.edu.hk/pg/hong-kong-phd-fellowship-scheme) or contact the School of Graduate Studies by email {sgfellow@cityu.edu.hk}.
