The 15th issue of Gifted Gateway has been released with contents covering the New Measures of Programme Subsidy Scheme, and the Forthcoming Student Programmes and Events in September to November 2019. We hope this quarterly e-newsletter can facilitate student members’ applications for our programmes.
New Measures of Programme Subsidy Scheme Starting from 2019/20, subsidised programmes will be broadened to cover more face-to-face and online prograrmmes in sciences, technology, mathematics and humanities subjects. The subsidy amount will be raised to 50% of the tuition fee or $2,500 (whichever is lower1). New measures will be applicable to all subsidised prograrmmes which begin from 1 September 2019. Under the new measures, student member must apply for a quota before the programme begins. The quota is limited and on a first-come-first-served basis. For details, please visit ‘Programme Subsidy Scheme’ page in mid-August. 1 For
details on the calculation method, please visit ’Programme Subsidy Scheme’.

Forthcoming Student Programmes and Events in September to November 2019 Programme with No Screening There are no screening questions, written tests or other screening methods for this type of programmes. ⚫
Student members can select up to 5 programmes from a list of selections. Student members have to state the priority when submitting the application. (1st priority, 2nd priority, 3rd priority, etc.)
⚫
Application can only be submitted once. Once it is submitted, the priority and the programme selection cannot be changed.
⚫
If a student member withdraws from a programme before the application deadline, the choice priority will remain unchanged. (For Example: A student selected three programmes and withdraws from the 1st priority programme. The choice of 2nd and 3rd priority will remain unchanged with no promotion in priority).
⚫
We will select the students based on the student’s choice of priorities and a randomly generated selection by the computer system. If there is a time clash between the applied programme and other programmes with offer, we will consider if the student will still be accepted.

Priority will be given to student members who have not completed the applied programmes.
