Under the recommendations of National Sports Associations, young people with sports talents may become Scholarship Athletes of the HKSI, where they can receive the highest level of training in the sports they excel, compete with top athletes from around the world, as well as benefit from comprehensive financial, training, education and lifestyle support. It usually takes 8 to 12 years of full-time training for young people with potentials to reach world-class performance levels. In addition to talents, it also requires systematic training programmes and support to nurture world champions. Athletes receiving training at the HKSI will first become Potential Athletes, before developing as Junior and Senior Elite Athletes. The athletes get support in five areas: Financial, Sports Science & Medicine, Training & Competitions, Lifestyle & Social Developmen, and Education.
