HK$60,000 in total, for the best three graduates among each MACC cohort. Among the recipients, the graduate with the highest award GPA receives $30,000 while the graduates with the second and third highest award GPA receive $20,000 and $10,000 respectively.
Selection Criteria
Graduates should have
- obtained an award GPA of 3.45 or above;

Points to Note
- To qualify for the scholarships, full-time students taking ten 3-credit subjects must complete their study within one academic year (including summer term), and part-time students taking ten 3-credit subjects must complete their study within two academic years (including summer term).
- Alternatively, full-time students opting to submit a MA dissertation must complete their study within 1.5 academic years. Part-time students opting to submit a MA dissertation must complete their study within 2.5 academic years.
