Hong Kong

Hong Kong Jockey Club Graduate Scholarships

The award is made possible by the generosity of the Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust.

The Hong Kong Jockey Club Scholarships will support residents of Hong Kong who are enrolling in a full-time master’s or doctoral degree program in public-service related programs at Harvard Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, Harvard Graduate School of Design, Harvard Divinity School, Harvard Graduate School of Education, Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Harvard Kennedy School, Harvard Law School, Harvard Medical School, or Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.

Recipients will be selected for their outstanding intellect and character, commitment to service, and potential for leadership. The award will cover tuition and fees as well as a living stipend for each academic year of the degree, up to three years.

HKJC Fellows will be connected with each other across the university in an academic and professional community.

Recipients of the Hong Kong Jockey Club Scholarship will also be invited by the Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust to join a network of fellows, including participating in events that they host. Scholarship funding is not linked to participation, however, recipients are encouraged to consider these links as potential benefits in their future academic and professional careers.
