The scholarship, run by Hong Kong-based company Jardine Matheson is ending its programme for Oxford and Cambridge universities after 44 years to focus on redirecting funds to institutions in Asia. “The Jardine Foundation remains committed to providing access to higher education by talented students across the Asian communities in which Jardines operates,” it said. The company is one of the original Hong Kong trading houses that dates back to Imperial China. The undergraduate scholarship was in partnership with Oxford university, and applicants could only study at Exeter College, Oriel College, The Queen's College, and Trinity College. Applicants can apply from Hong Kong, China, Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, and Taiwan.
