China DailyThe Hong Kong Special Administrative Region is expected to fund a record number of youngsters to study in universities on the Chinese mainland, a document from the regional government showed. The Mainland University Study Subsidy Scheme offers from HK$5,900 to HK$19,400 per academic year to Hong Kong students pursuing bachelor's degrees on the mainland. According to Hong Kong's education bureau, the mainland is the top destination for Hong Kong students seeking to study outside the city, with 35.2 percent opting for mainland universities in 2021.
