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.
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.
