Hong Kong Future Talents Scholarship Scheme for Advanced Studies

Starting from the 2025-26 academic year, the Government is introducing the Hong Kong Future Talents Scholarship Scheme for Advanced Studies (HKFTSS). The scheme is designed to support local students in pursuing further studies in areas of strategic priority for Hong Kong’s long-term development. 

The following programmes are eligible for FTSS in the 2026 intake: 

• Master of Finance 
• Master of Science in Business Analytics 
• Master of Economics 
• Master of Global Management 
• Master of Science in Marketing

Eligibility

• Applications are open to local students admitted to the programmes listed above in the 2026 intake; 
• Scholarship awards will be based on merit, taking into account students' academic achievements, professional qualifications, relevant work experience and achievements in other areas, as well as the proposals submitted by the students; and 
• To avoid double subsidy, applications from students who are receiving other forms of government scholarship (except student financial assistance) for pursuing the same programme will not be considered. 
• All awardees must, as a condition for receiving the scholarship, sign a written undertaking that upon graduation, they will contribute to relevant industries/sectors through full-time employment or entrepreneurial activities either in Hong Kong or within the Greater Bay Area. Awardees will be required to submit a mandatory return no later than 12 months after the end of their last semester of studies under the relevant programme, with (i) (for full-time employment) specific information on at least the name of employer, position held, job nature and salary level of the scholarship awardee or (for entrepreneurial activities) company name with business registration number, description of business nature and details of entrepreneurial activities, as well as (ii) a one-page summary of their contributions to Hong Kong after graduation and its relevance to the programme pursued.

Scholarship Amount

HKFTSS scholarship is capped at HK$100,000 for each student for the whole TPg programme, regardless of the actual study period and mode of study.

Awardees are required to pay a minimum tuition fee, being the prevailing rate of UGC-funded full-time degree programmes (i.e. HK$47,000 for the 2026-2027 academic year).
