Radley College* is one of the UK’s leading and prestigious independent boarding schools. In recent years, Radley has been offering The Greater China Scholarship (GCS), to a boy from Hong Kong who would otherwise be unable to afford independent education to attend Radley for 5 years of education.
With a similar mission related to the education landscape for the under-resourced students in Hong Kong, ARCH Community Outreach (ACO) is honoured to be the appointed partner of the GCS. We continue to work closely with Radley College to identify candidates, provide support for their preparation for assessment and oversee a testing and interview process before the Warden visits Hong Kong to interview the final round candidates.
About The GCS
The GCS is a means-tested award for talented boys from Hong Kong to attend Radley from the age of 13 to 18.
The main objective of Radley’s scholarship program is to help transform the lives of the recipients by allowing them to fulfil their dreams through an outstanding and free education otherwise unachievable due to resource constraints.
