ACO works with local partner schools in Hong Kong to identify students who are academically high achieving and from under-resourced backgrounds.
We welcome applications from students who do not attend a partner school, but may require students to provide additional background information to evaluate eligibility.
Students who are eligible for this program should currently be in Form 5; exceptional Form 4 students will also be considered subject to ACO’s assessment review and their school counselors’ and teachers’ recommendations.

Total number of student participants is approximately 20-30 per year.
Our assessment process allows us to identify academically high achieving but under-resourced students, who are proactively seeking mentorship and career exposure and, critically, who desire to make a positive contribution to their communities.
Assessments are based on the following:
- Application Form
- Personal Statement
- Teacher's Recommendation Letter
- Academic Transcripts
- "Super Day" Interview
