As part of the initiative "Schools: Partners for the Future" (PASCH), the Goethe-Institut organizes international youth courses for students from PASCH-Schools around the world.
Every year, around 1,000 scholarship holders from over 100 nations, who have distinguished themselves at their schools throughvery good performance and high motivation, come together to learn German in international communities.
The Goethe‑Institut is pleased to launch the HKDSE German Scholarship in 2026. Under the PASCH Initiative, we will award a full‑language‑course scholarship to the HKDSE German (Category C) top scorer—the student who attains the highest Goethe‑Zertifikat level in each cohort.
The scholarship aims to inspire PASCH students to pursue advanced Goethe‑Zertifikat levels and to achieve excellence in the HKDSE, Hong Kong’s university‑entrance examination.
