HKSAR/Mainland Exchange Scholarship Programme

Since 1996 the Hongkong Bank Foundation has contributed HKD6 million to the HKSAR/Mainland Performing Arts Exchange Scholarship Programme, helping more than 300 students to broaden their knowledge.

Multi-discipline scholarships

Through the exchange scholarships, talented dance, music and Cantonese Opera students in mainland China are given the opportunity to pursue full-time studies in Hong Kong, while Hong Kong students of different disciplines study in the Mainland. 

Learning is a lifelong project, and it begins with learning about yourself and from others.
