HKCT has specifically introduced entrance scholarship for new students, covering programmes such as master's degrees, bachelor's degrees, higher diplomas, professional diplomas, and diplomas (excluding the Applied Education Diploma).
The HKCT Scholarship Scheme aims to encourage students with outstanding academic achievement, outstanding character, and notable achievements in extra-curricular activities or community service. Some scholarships are also sponsored by organisations and philanthropists to inspire students to continue striving for excellence in their studies.
With the support of these scholarships, HKCT not only motivates students to excel in their studies but also helps ease their financial burden. The scholarships provide funding to support advanced learning opportunities and participation in local or overseas exchange programmes. Scholarship funding may cover up to the full tuition fee (after deducting government subsidies).
