Dear All,

It is our great pleasure to inform you that the School of Nursing, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University has set up a scholarship, International Nursing Scholarship for Pre-PhD in Research Excellence (INSPPIRE), for local and international students who are interested to study our PhD programme in Hong Kong. The aims of this INSPPIREing programme are to bring together high caliber local and international/mainland students to discuss the challenges and opportunities of doctoral education, and to promote cross-institutional collaborations in the future.

The scholarship provides monetary support to the awardees. Awardees will join a two-week pre-PhD training programme from 7 - 18 July 2014 to learn about the School's research areas and what to prepare for research, and to know more about the health care and university life in Hong Kong. The application deadline is 11 Apr 2014 (Friday).

Details of the scholarship and programme can be found in the attached leaflet and the website http://sn.polyu.edu.hk/insppire. It would be great if you could promote the INSPPIRE programme to your friends and colleagues.

Enquiries can be made by email to Ms Connie Leong, Administrative Assistant (connie.leong@polyu.edu.hk).

   Thank you for your support in advance.

Best wishes
