Applications Open for BVI Asia Abroad Scholarship Programme 2024

The BVI Hong Kong Office announces the start of applications for the Fall 2024 BVI Asia Abroad Scholarship Programme. This opportunity invites Belongers and Permanent Residents of the Virgin Islands to apply for a chance to pursue studies in various disciplines across the Asia-Pacific region.

In Fall 2023, the BVI Hong Kong Office proudly welcomed four Virgin Islanders as the inaugural participants in the scholarship programme. Ms. Kimberly Cordes, Ms. Tisa Donovan, Mr. Adante George, and Mr. Travis Thomas made history as the first successful candidates, currently thriving at four partner universities in the Asia-Pacific region.

The scholarship programme offers a range of academic pursuits, including Bachelors, Masters, or Doctoral degrees, as well as short language programmes. Scholars have the opportunity to study in Hong Kong, Shenzhen (mainland China), Singapore, Taiwan, and Macau. The scholarships cover 100% of tuition fees in various subject areas, including tourism/hospitality, finance, environmental science, teacher education, and healthcare. Additionally, support for housing, travel, and living expenses is available.
