Overview
JC Scholars are outstanding students who not only achieve academic and professional success but are also dedicated to creating positive change in their communities. They actively take part in leadership and volunteer activities, both locally and globally, preparing themselves to become caring leaders for a better Hong Kong.
Induction Programme
All newly awarded JC Scholars will participate in the Induction Programme, designed to enhance self-awareness and familiarise them with The Hong Kong Jockey Club's operations and charity work. The Induction Programme includes a welcome day and an induction camp, which provides valuable opportunities for connection and personal growth. Through this programme, JC Scholars will engage with their community, serve others, and live the true spirit of a JC Scholar. JC Scholars may also have opportunities to visit Jockey Club facilities and participate in social service activities.
Leadership Programme
Since 2016, The Hong Kong Jockey Club Scholarships have organised Leadership Programmes designed to provide JC Scholars with a comprehensive learning experience that broadens their global perspective and cultivates their leadership skills. These programmes are held at prestigious universities worldwide, where participating JC Scholars engage in lectures, seminars and workshops conducted by notable speakers and academics.

The Jockey Club Scholars Alumni Association (JCSAA) was established in 2002 with the support of the Club and officially inaugurated in 2004. Since its inception, it has fostered a close-knit community of alumni, uniting hundreds of JC Scholars across various ages and academic fields.
