The School of Hotel and Tourism Management (SHTM) offers a wide variety of scholarships and awards to deserving students who demonstrate a high level of academic merit, exhibit strong involvement in extracurricular activities, and participate actively in community and charitable activities.

Since SHTM was established, the hospitality and tourism industry as a whole, as well as individual donors in Hong Kong and overseas, have donated a large number of scholarships to encourage academic and personal excellence amongst our students. These scholarships and awards have benefited our students immensely, helping them to consummate their academic achievements and develop into all-round graduates.

The School has also established its own entry, exchange and service scholarships at the postgraduate level to provide MSc students with the opportunity to render their services and make administrative and study-related contributions to the School.

In most cases, the School nominates students for scholarships based on their academic merit, but some scholarships are open to application by all students. In addition to academic merit, other factors such as leadership potential, financial need, and active involvement in community services or extracurricular activities are also considered. Applicants are usually invited to attend interviews, after which a panel of judges will examine and determine their suitability.
