<blockquote>Dear Prof Reif,<br>
<br>
Greetings from the Hong Kong University of Science & Technology! I
wish to share with you the following information, in case you have not
heard, and hope that you can help disseminate this to appropriate
persons who might be interested.<br>
<br>
Beginning the academic year 2010-11, the Research Grants Council (RGC)
of HK has operated a new scholarship scheme,<b> the Hong Kong PhD
Fellowship Scheme (HKPFS)</b>, to attract top quality students to come
and pursue PhD studies in Hong Kong. It is a generous scheme for
anyone interested and qualified, be they from Hong Kong, Mainland
China, or other continents. For the 2011-12 year, there will be
135 awards for the whole of Hong Kong.<br>
<br>
We would like to invite you, as a good friend and supporter of our
University, to help disseminate information on this scheme and
encourage those qualified to apply.<u> Deadline for close of
application is midnight of 6 December 2010 (HK Time)</u>.<br>
<br>
In gist, the HK PhD Fellowship provides each awardee a monthly stipend
of HK$20,000 (USD2,500 approx) for three years. In addition, a travel
allowance of HK$10,000 (USD1,280 approx) is provided annually for
three years for the awardee to attend conference or similar events. At
the end of the program of study, awardees are not required to observe
any completion-of-study conditions although Hong Kong Government would
most welcome these awardees to stay and work in Hong Kong if they want
to.<br>
<br>
Information on the Fellowship Scheme can be accessed at the following
URL: <a
