Nurturing the Gifted Scheme

To enhance the nomination process, the Nurturing the Gifted Scheme* will incorporate additional competitions, scholarships, and award schemes, expanding the search for talented students. For students of suitable age who have demonstrated exceptional performance in significant competitions, scholarships, and award schemes in Hong Kong, HKAGE will directly obtain the list of eligible students from the respective organisers.
