At HKUST, we celebrate diversity and recognize the different talents our students bring to the university community.
Balancing interests and schoolwork can be tough. It takes immense effort and dedication to achieve double. We pledge to support young talents who wish to realize their full potential without sacrificing their academic studies.
Through the Beyond Academic Admissions Scholarship (BAAS), young talents can pursue their dreams while receiving a quality education.
