We foster the culture of active lifestyles and the participation in sports, as athletics offers many positive physical, mental and social benefits not only to the individual, but also to broader society.
HKUST understands the importance of education and the significant impact of holistic, balanced well-being. AEF Athletic Scholarships are offered to students who have proven achievements and potential in regional or international competitions. Sports development is worthy of promotion because it fosters comprehensive education. This in turn will help cultivate the culture of sports on campus.
The AEF Athletic Scholarship is offered to undergraduate students who have achieved recognition in sports competitions at the regional or international level. Selected students are granted HK$10,000 - 50,000 (renewable) towards their tuition, and to date the program has supported more than 50 students, for a total allocation over HK$1,500,000.
Words of Gratitude from Recipients of AEF Athletic Scholarships for UG Students
It is a great feeling to have been recognized for my achievements in Kickboxing and other sports. This scholarship will help me immensely and I will not have to worry too much now on spending for items required for my sporting and academic development.

I have been playing handball for more than six years and am currently a member of the University handball team. This scholarship will definitely eliminate my financial worries and enable me to indulge in academic study and sports participation.

Before attending university I was a part-time athlete for the Hong Kong Sports Institute of WuShu (Chinese martial arts) specializing in Tai Chi. There, I trained 6 days a week, four to five hours per day. I ended up choosing HKUST because of the school's holistic approach to education. The school actually cares about athletes, encouraging students to do more sports and extra-curricular activities. It made me feel more comfortable in this environment.
