The Hongkong Polytechnic University  PHD Scheme 2014-2015

Graduates and practitioner with evidence of academic excellence, research ability, good communication skills, and interest in pursuing their dissertation in the field of social entrepreneurship are invited to apply for Hong Kong PhD Fellowship Scheme.

The Fellowship provides monthly stipend of HK$20,000 and travel allowance of HK$10,000 per year for a maximum of three years. In addition, each awardee will also enjoy tuition fees waiver for a maximum of three years.

Hong Kong serves as an excellent hub to access China, South-East- and South-Asia, where most of the social innovations are taking place, and PolyU has recently established a Design Institute for Social Innovation (http://www.sd.polyu.edu.hk/web/About/JCDISI), which will provide a good opportunity for research on social innovation.
