Community Engagement Project Fund

The Community Engagement Project Fund aims to stimulate and support student-initiated projects that have social impact and bring about positive change. These projects should reach beyond the campus to the larger community, demonstrate an awareness of and concern for social issues and dynamics, and include constructive and effective actions that improve or help solve a social condition.

The Community Engagement Project Fund will be allocated through an application process, with funding going to those applications selected by a review panel. The maximum amount of funding for each project is $5,000. Proposals with high impact and merit that require a higher level of funding may be considered on an exceptional basis.

Submit your project proposal to connect@ust.hk with "Community Engagement Project Fund Application" as the email subject.

• Cover Letter (with your name, student ID, program of study, email, phone no.) If you are working in a group, please also list the other members
