The Lee Family Scholarships

The Lee Family Scholarships support outstanding doctoral students from mainland China or Hong Kong who are pursuing PhD studies at Imperial College London. The scholarship provides full tuition fees and a generous stipend for 3.5 years, along with a consumables budget. Two scholarships are available for the 2025/2026 academic year. The program is open to students applying to PhD programs across the Faculty of Engineering, Faculty of Medicine, Faculty of Natural Sciences, and the Imperial Business School. Candidates must be new PhD applicants who ordinarily reside in mainland China or Hong Kong (excluding Taiwan) and have been classified as Overseas for fee status. The scholarship requires applicants to approach individual departments and supervisors with their proposed projects before submitting a PhD application. Departments will nominate candidates based on academic merit and potential, and Imperial's Selection Panel makes the final decision. Recipients must not intend to exercise the skills obtained from their PhD in the UK after completing their studies.
