FUNDING SUPPORT

Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao University Alliance Fund – Student Interflow Scheme

About the Scheme

The Student Interflow Scheme, launched by the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao University Alliance with funding from the University Grant Committee, provides subsistence for university students in Hong Kong to participate in short-term internships or learning programmes in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA).

Eligibility

Local students enrolled in full-time undergraduate programmes at HKU at the time of application and throughout the subsidized exchange activity.

Participation in interflow activity consists of substantive teaching and learning elements, to be held in the GBA (excluding Hong Kong) , and be organized/coordinated by HKU Faculty/Department/Unit, commencing between September 1, 2024, and June 30, 2025.

*The GBA consists of Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Zhuhai, Foshan, Dongguan, Zhongshan, Jiangmen, Huizhou, Zhaoqing, Hong Kong and Macao.

Funding Scope

The maximum amount of subsidy is calculated by the round-trip cross-border transportation fee, subject to a maximum funding cap at HK$500 per activity. Local transportation within Hong Kong or the GBA is not covered. (e.g. Local taxi fee to High-Speed Rail Station cannot be reimbursed.)

Applicants can submit multiple subsidy applications for interflow activities to be carried out during the subsidized period.
Subsistence of the Scheme is provided on a reimbursement basis to eligible students.
