Connect Overseas Learning Experience Sponsorship Scheme
Description
Students participating in service learning trips can learn about a place, its culture and its people through hands-on, community-based service projects. Connect Overseas Learning Experience Sponsorship Scheme (OLESS) aims to support students to participate in learning trips organized / co-ordinated by HKUST Connect. Successful candidates will receive a subsidy covering part of the program fee through generous donations from:
- Paul & Eileen Lin Grant (林達光先生夫人資助金) for programs in mainland China
We are inviting students who are passionate about community engagement to apply for this grant. Additional consideration will be given to those with financial need.
