To encourage students to organize or participate in various activities to widen their exposure and enrich their knowledge, the College established this fund to subsidize individuals or student bodies to gain experience in organizing and taking part in an array of activities.

The Fund will be open for application until 31 October 2023 (Tuesday). Students who are interested in applying the Fund can refer to the application guidelines for more details (https://www.na.cuhk.edu.hk/latest-news/application-of-student-activity-fund-2023-2024-3/). Applicants must submit the online application form and necessary documents on or before the deadline, i.e. at least one month prior to the activity (regardless of whether the applicant has been successfully enrolled by then).

For enquiries, please contact Ms. Phoebe Li (Tel.: 3943-5732; E-mail: yeekwanli@cuhk.edu.hk) of the Dean of Students’ Office.
