  1. Notice that in Hong Kong, there are two types of master degrees: MA (Taught Postgraduate) and MPhil (Research Postgraduate). I think only MPHil students can get the stipend.

  2. In addition, the competitive fellowship for the Ph.D. program (with an earlier application deadline) also offers conference travel allowance of HK$10,000 per year for the awardees for a maximum period of three years.
