  • President’s Merit Award Scholarship: You must have a combined grade average of 90% or higher (based on CityU’s evaluation of the submitted transcripts for the whole duration of previously completed academic coursework; if the entire duration of studies is unavailable, the Registrar’s Office may evaluate the last year of study).
