Scholarship Description: The Croucher Foundation is a private endowment set up in 1979 and permanently domiciled in Hong Kong, with the objective of promoting excellence in natural science, technology and medicine in Hong Kong. One of the Foundation’s regular funding initiatives is to provide financial support for promising young people in Hong Kong to pursue scientific research at postdoctoral and doctoral levels. The awards offered by the Croucher Foundation Limited (“the Foundationâ€) are intended to enable applicants who are permanent residents of Hong Kong to devote themselves to a period of full-time study or research in natural science, medicine or technology in approved academic institutions outside Hong Kong.
Duration of Scholarships: Scholarships are tenable up to and including the third year of the relevant PhD studies programme. This does not therefore necessarily mean that all recipients will get three years of support, e.g. a candidate starting the Scholarship from the second year of his/her PhD study will get only two years of support, one starting from the third year of PhD will get one year, etc. The length of the award will be explicitly stated in the grant letter when the offer is made. If the award is for more than one year, the candidate will in the first instance be “on probation†for one year, and the award for the remaining period is entirely at the Foundation’s discretion subject to confirmation upon evidence of satisfactory progress in the first year.
Value of the award: A Croucher Scholarship normally comprises an annual maintenance allowance, assistance towards air passage, plus tuition fees. Assistance towards airfare to return to Hong Kong not claimed within a period of twelve months from the expiry date of the Scholarship award shall be automatically forfeited. Scholars who terminate their awards before the expiry date are not entitled to such assistance. A one-off grant for books and clothing will be given during the first year of tenure. An allowance of up to the equivalent of HK$2,800 for thesis expenses will be made to final year PhD students on application against receipts presented within twelve months of the expiry date of the Scholarship.
How to Apply: By Online
