HKUST secures 1 000 doctoral fellowship recipients to lead Hong Kong institutions

The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) has successfully secured over 1,000 doctoral fellowship recipients through the Hong Kong PhD Fellowship Scheme (HKPFS) since its inception 17 years ago in 2009. These elite students, hailing from more than 50 countries and regions, represent more than a quarter of all HKPFS fellowship recipients to date, making HKUST the leading destination for HKPFS awardees among Hong Kong's University Grants Committee (UGC)-funded universities.

In the 2026/27 academic year, HKUST welcomed over 100 new HKPFS recipients, with the university set to receive a combined total of more than HK$112 million in fellowships and research allowances from the HKSAR Government over the next three years.
