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.",
