OVERSEAS SCHOLARSHIP AWARDEES
Studying abroad is no longer a pipe dream!
Consistent with the vision of 'broadening Hong Kong youth’s exposure to international education experiences', ARCH Community Outreach (ACO) has helped under-resourced students in Hong Kong receive scholarships to further their studies at overseas boarding schools and universities.
We’re grateful for the tremendous support of ARCH Education, whose professional admission consultants provide comprehensive admissions guidance to our students who strive to attend top boarding schools and universities.

How did this program support you in achieving your goals?
The tutors boosted my confidence to complete my application to UCAS.
The clear instructions provided in the personal statement writing sessions equipped me with advanced writing skills. I am really excited that I got into LSE law, and I am sure that I would not have been able to without this program!

"Applying for university can be very stressful and I was very lucky to have ARCH guiding me. The team spent so much time helping me brainstorm ideas for my personal statement.
They also made the effort to go through every draft with me and perfect it, so that it was the best expression of myself. Their kind reminders ensured that everything was completed on time.
Thank you, ARCH, for helping me."

how HAS THIS PROGRAM IMPACTED
YOUR LIFE?
"The program was a huge factor in my success applying overseas. As someone from a local school, I would not have had access to any foreign university application support otherwise. The highly professional consulting and tutoring I received through the program was incredibly helpful and really elevated my chances.
I would not have been admitted to my dream university and ideal course without the support of ARCH!"

"ACO supported me generously in my application process for the UK university admissions process. I can still remember the comprehensive guidance at different stages where I was given clear instructions on what to do. Without ACO’s help, the whole process would have been so much more troublesome and difficult."

“ACO provides a huge amount of support on preparing you for the aptitude test. The tutors are willing to spend time and guide you through all the questions, helping you to establish a better understanding of related knowledge, thus making sure a successful test.
They also help participants to polish their interview techniques and serve as a guide throughout the application, which is extremely helpful for people unfamiliar with the process.
But to me, the aptitude test aid is already a treasure.

“Coming from a modest background, I never imagined myself studying at the University of Cambridge. The impossible became possible as I received tremendous help from the ACO program apart from my school.
From writing personal statements to the aptitude test and interview preparation, I was tutored and guided on a 1-1 basis.”
