Croucher start-up allowance

16 November 2012

The terms of Croucher Foundation study awards have been expanded recently to include a supplementary start-up allowance payable to Croucher Scholarship and Fellowship recipients upon their return to Hong Kong to take up tenure-track faculty positions in University Grants Committee-funded higher education institutions in Hong Kong within six years of graduation with a doctoral degree. This allowance would enable recipients to have funds available immediately upon arrival in Hong Kong for research expenses including salaries for research assistants, purchase of laboratory equipment and consumables.

Croucher Scholars and Fellows who wish to apply please send an email to cfadmin@croucher.org.hk enclosing a copy of their employment offer letter for consideration.
