The Hong Kong Prize (hk Prize) is an international scholarship program that recognizes high school students’ academic accomplishments, extracurricular involvement and talents while simultaneously encouraging them to follow their passions while building global perspectives. Winners can enjoy various benefits including access to Hong Kong’s premier research facilities as well as use their prize money toward funding their next project – it attracts thousands of scientists every year who compete for this esteemed award.

Winners will not only receive monetary prizes but will have the chance to work in their field of expertise at one of Hong Kong’s premier research institutions for six months; this allows them to build professional networks among renowned scientists while expanding their professional connections and networks in Hong Kong.
Recent research demonstrated that FRBs may be caused by neutron stars — remnants of collapsed stars after supernova explosion. This discovery is significant given the extreme density and vast energy stored within neutron stars; FRBs may help scientists understand where life originates in our universe.

Their prize money may be used to finance research or travel to conferences and seminars related to their field. It is highly competitive; therefore it is essential that applicants read all rules thoroughly prior to applying.
