Hong Kong PhD Fellowship Scheme 2016-17

10 days are remaining to apply for Hong Kong Scholarship. Apply in universities without contacting professors now. As days remaining are less now. Hopefully, you can get selected for fellowship interview and then you can show your best in interviews and hence can win fellowship.
Especially Business, Social Sciences and Humanities majors a good and rare option for you
PhD Scholarships in almost every field in 08 Hong Kong universities
Do consider that 04 universities out of 08 of them are in world top 100 ranked universities
People with Bachelors(BS) degree can also try their luck here. They will have 4 years for PhD and people with masters have 3 years for PhD scholarship
If you fail in getting it, you can apply in university own scholarships. So apply now following guidelines
In almost every field specially Humanities, Social Sciences and Business Studies and Sciences, Medicine, Engineering and Technology
It is good if you contact professors in universities before, but if no one replies, you can apply as it is not mandatory to have in contact with professors there to apply. But professor contact increases your chances of selection.
One big benefit of contacting professors is that few universities and departments there have their own scholarships. So if you are in good contact with professors and you failed to get this HK fellowship, then still you can go for those specific scholarships offered by departments and universities
Still I say again, if professor do not reply you, it is fine, you can still apply for it and make good and well prepared documents of application, so that you can get selected for fellowship interview and then you can show your best in interviews and hence can win fellowship. People with good CGPA and IELTS score are preferred
