Leadership is a lifelong journey requiring continuous learning and practice. In order to provide advanced training opportunities for exceptionally outstanding alumni of “Hong Kong 200” Leadership Project, an “Overseas Online Learning Scholarship” of HSBC Future Skills Development Project is launched by The Hong Kong Federation of Youth Groups. It aims to provide financial support to young people who wish to strengthen their leadership capacity through online learning, so that they are equipped to lead and serve more effectively. 

Scholars will be sponsored to join short leadership courses provided by renowned universities in the US and the UK to be inspired to make positive social changes, including the Harvard University, MIT, the University of Oxford, the University of Chicago and UMD.
