Remarks:

  1. The total score of the best 5 HKDSE subjects is calculated as follows: 
    • Any core or electives subjects in HKDSE will be taken into account. Mathematics extended modules (M1/M2) are considered as independent subjects in the total score calculation. The HKDSE level attainments are converted to level points as follows: 5**=7, 5*=6, etc…
    •  "Attained" and "Attained with Distinction" in Applied Learning (ApL) subjects are considered to be equivalent to Level 2 and Level 3 in DSE subjects respectively. A maximum of 2 ApL subjects are allowed to be taken into account.
  2. CGPA score requirements are calculated based on a 4.0 scale
  3. The scores of best 6 subjects are calculated based on the following scale: A. = 5 pts; B. = 4 pts; C. = 3 pts; D. = 2 pts; E. = 1 pt; F. = 0 pt
  4. The scholarship schemes mentioned above are mutually exclusive, meaning that students supported by one scheme cannot receive support from another at the same time.
