Scholarship

The Hong Kong Teachers-in-Training Scholarship Scheme has been established for the purpose of helping needy students studying to become teachers in Hong Kong educating and nurturing tomorrow's leaders and better citizens for the benefit of our society.

Purpose & Scope

The Teachers-in-Training Scholarship is established under the Trust with the following objectives:

To encourage more elitists with aspiration and determination to join the teaching profession - a life-long career dedicated to the sacred mission of educating the young;
To offer scholarships to award the teachers-in-training with brilliant academic performance, especially those promising ones who require financial assistance, and
To instill the spirit "educating the second generation is our sacred duties" into the minds of young teachers in order that they may devote their efforts to nurturing tomorrow's leaders and better citizens for the benefit of our society.

The Teachers-in-Training Scholarship shall be awarded to students requiring financial assistance with brilliant academic achievements and who are planning to be teachers after graduation from university. Students who are in desperate need of financial aid may be granted with more scholarship value at the discretion of the Selection Board.

Basic Eligibility

All those who have been studying in the Faculty of Education / Education Programme from Year 2 onwards are eligible to apply for scholarships. Only those students who study specifically to become teachers may apply. The processing of all applications will be undertaken by the Trust, but the approval will be made by the Selection Board, whose decision will be final and conclusive.

Award

A scholarship of HK$10,000 will be awarded to the student having brilliant academic achievements as approved by the Selection Board. The number of scholarships is limited to 20. Those students who are in desperate need of financial aid may be granted a double-scholarship of HK$20,000 at the discretion of the Selection Board, whose decision will be final and conclusive. The scholarship fund will be paid directly into the awardee's University to cover his/her tuition fees.

In case of need, the scholarship-recipients may be required to use part of their leisure time to help screen the new applicants or to do other relative charitable work.
