How to become our mentees?
Every September, application will be opened to F.4 and F.5 students in Hong Kong. Interested students may fill in the Google form and attach necessary documents. We will NOT accept applications by fax or post. If you have any inquiries, please email us at info@boundlesshk.org. Stay tuned for our next application period!
Selection criteria
In the selection process, we would look at both students’ academic and non-academic achievements, as well as their short personal statements outlining their aspirations and how they could benefit from the program that Boundless offers.
Applicants will be assessed on a holistic basis whereby a number of areas will be taken into account: academic performance, non-academic achievements, interview performance, commitment, and enthusiasm exhibited, and the financial background of the applicant (see remarks below).
Screening based on financial background

While exceptions are allowed for those who provide reasonable justifications in their applications, all other applicants must meet ONE of the following five conditions in order to be considered:
