About this award

You can receive a $500 award. As a scholarship, this money is yours to keep and you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are a student at NAIT (Northern Alberta Institute of Technology) who is interested in researching professional opportunities in Hong Kong. You must apply by February 12, 2027. When you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back — whether it is by email, the portal, or phone. Winners are chosen based on your academic achievement and the quality of your essay. Ask NAIT how many students usually apply, so you can judge your odds. Ask NAIT during your application how the money will reach you — some awards pay students directly, others apply funds to tuition. Confirm this so you can plan your cash flow. Renewal conditions aren't listed — if you're counting on this for multiple years, confirm with NAIT whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Tips for applying

• EssayAvoid writing a general overview of Hong Kong. Instead, research and analyze specific opportunities for students or graduates from your exact program area in Hong Kong and its immediate vicinity. Focus your writing on career employment, creating a new venture, or further career-related training.
• SupportAvoid guessing about the local job market. Instead, look for current industry reports or reach out to professional associations in Hong Kong to get real-world data for your essay.
• RealismAvoid assuming that high grades alone will win the award. Instead, remember that this is awarded on the basis of both satisfactory academic achievement and your essay submission, so spend equal time on both.
