Team HKU

The CSE is delighted to launch a new sports coaching bursary scheme that provides successful applicants with funding towards a coaching qualification and deployment in a HKU programme.

The sport coaching bursary is open to all students currently studying at HKU and will be open for applications throughout the academic year. HKU Students can apply for up to $5,000 of funding through the scheme, and students who are successful in their applications will be expected to complete a number of voluntary hours within a relevant HKU programme to allow them to apply their learning in a real-world context.

Further details about the typical amount of funding and the that students can apply for is detailed in the table below. Every student will be required to complete a minimum of 10 hours within an appropriate HKU programme, plus an extra 5 hours for every $2,000 of funding provided.

There are many benefits to applying through the scheme, including:

• Enhancing your CV – employers value students who can evidence extracurricular activities and qualifications
• Personal development – there is a clear link between sports coaching and developing your organisational, leadership, and communication skills – key skills which you need for any career you may go into
• Paid roles – students who complete the scheme are eligible to apply for paid coaching positions within our Uni-Sports and TeamHKU programmes.
• Develop your sport – help support the development of your sport at HKU by increasing the quality of coaching for HKU students.
