Every year, we receive tons of applications to our MPP program and many of them are with outstanding background. Since 2018, we have established the Admission Scholarship for Master of Public Policy to recognize the outstanding background of our applicants. The PPOL Postgraduate Committee will evaluate the profiles of the applicants, including their academic performance and awards received during their undergraduate studies, their working and internships experiences, their extra-curricular activities, the comments from their professors, their personal drive and attitude, their performance during interview, their career potential, and potential to bring in diversity to the program, etc. In 2020-21 academic year, 7 students were selected and awarded the scholarship. Congratulations to all of them!

It is a huge blessing and surprise for me because in the past few months I have met so many excellent peers in the MPP Program who possess strong learning abilities and creative ideas. Receiving the scholarship is encouraging for me not only because it helped reduce my tuition, but also because it made me realise that all the hard work that I put into my undergraduate career and postgraduate studies paid off." - DAI Mingyue
