The HKIE Scholarship scheme aims to recognize the academic achievements of outstanding full-time engineering undergraduate students. Each year, the scholarship is awarded to up to three students who major in HKIE-accredited engineering programs in any local university. Selection criteria include academic results at university, enthusiasm in becoming an engineer, and leadership ability demonstrated in extra-curricular activities and community service. The scholarship grant will be disbursed to the recipients in four instalments at the end of each academic year, contingent upon the fulfilment of specific requirements.
